Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan has pulled out of the upcoming three-match T20I series against the Netherlands to be with his unwell wife, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed on Tuesday.
“Mehidy took leave from August 20 to September 4 to be with his wife as she is not keeping well,” a BCB official told Cricbuzz. “As a result, he is not flying to Sylhet for the skill camp ahead of the series against Netherlands.”
The 28-year-old, who was part of the fitness camp in Dhaka as preparation for the Netherlands series and the Asia Cup in the UAE from September 9, last featured in Bangladesh’s home T20I series against Pakistan.
The Bangladesh squad shifted to Sylhet on Tuesday evening for their preparation camp. The Netherlands team will arrive on August 26 and train for three days before the series begins.
All three matches will be played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, with the opener on August 30, followed by games on September 1 and 3.
