Bangladesh batter Tamim Iqbal to return for final Test series against South Africa

PORT ELIZABETH: Bangladesh batter Tamim Iqbal is fit and available for the final game of the two-Test series against South Africa, skipper Mominul Haque confirmed on Thursday.

The 33-year old was ruled out of the first Test with a stomach problem. Opener Shadman Islam is expected to pave way for the experienced campaigner as he will open the innings with Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who became the first Bangladeshi batter to hit a Test century against South Africa in the first Test.

"Tamim bhai's condition is much better now and we are hopeful he will play the next game," Mominul said ahead of the second match.

The Bangladesh captain said that they are confident of doing well in the series-concluding game to end the tour on a high while adding that they are not ready to think too much about the disappointing batting in the fourth innings in Durban. IANS
