Bangladesh on Wednesday recalled middle-order batsman Sabbir Rahman for February’s three-match one-day international series against New Zealand after reducing his suspension by one month.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had suspended Sabbir for six months from international cricket in September for abusing a fan on social media.
Sabbir last played for Bangladesh against West Indies in July and August and has struggled in domestic cricket while serving his international ban.
The 27-year showed signs of returning to form only last week when he struck 85 off 51 balls during a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Twenty20 match for the Sylhet Sixers.
Bangladesh selectors also rewarded pacer Taskin Ahmed for an impressive show in the BPL with recall to both the ODI and Test squads.
