Mehidy Hasan Miraz is back to full fitness ahead of the second Test match against Sri Lanka, which presents a welcome selection dilemma for Bangladesh’s squad management. The 26-year-old all-rounder, currently ranked No. 2 among Test all-rounders, missed the first match due to illness but is now pushing hard for a spot in the playing XI.
Mehidy’s potential inclusion presents a tough decision for selectors, especially given the strong performances by spinners in the first Test. His experience and ability to contribute with both bat and ball could give Bangladesh the edge in the crucial fixture.
Mehidy brings balance and depth to the side, and we’re considering the conditions carefully before finalizing the XI,” said head coach Chandika Hathurusingha. His return has ignited discussions around team composition, especially with spin likely to play a key role.
The second Test against Sri Lanka will be pivotal for the hosts, who are looking to level the series. Whether Mehidy gets the nod could be decisive in shaping the match — and potentially, the series outcome.
