Bangladesh's upcoming five-match T20I series at home against New Zealand got a major boost with the return of Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das to the 19-member squad.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced on Thursday that apart from the duo, all-rounder Aminul Islam joins the team after returning from personal leave. Mohammad Mithun has been dropped from the squad which won 4-1 against Australia while Tamim Iqbal is not included as he is yet to recover fully from a knee injury.
