Sylhet:Dhaka The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the inclusion of Amite Hasan in the 15-member squad for the second and final Test against the West Indies. Amite replaces Mominul Haque, who sustained a head injury during the first Test.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Mominul was injured on the third day of the first Test while attempting to take a catch at short leg. Jaker Ali Anik was brought in as his concussion substitute. The BCB has stated that players diagnosed with a concussion must observe a mandatory seven-day rest period before returning to play, necessitating Mominul's absence from the upcoming match.

Jaker Ali has retained his place in the squad for the second Test, which is set to commence on November 5 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
