Nahid has been out of action since July when he suffered a side strain in Zimbabwe. Taskin, who played against Australia, is also missing out due to workload management policy.
“Nahid Rana is available from October 10, so till then we will consider him as ruled out. We want him to be available for the Tests against West Indies and the rest of the 2026-27 season. We are still considering whether he will play the ODIs in the tri-series or he will play in the domestic competitions to get back into the groove,” Bashar said.
Meanwhile, three bowlers – offspinner Nayeem Hasan and quicks Musfik Hasan and Iqbal Hossain Emon – will accompany the Test squad as travelling reserves.
The tour hosts Afghanistan haven’t however announced the venue yet for the one-off Test against Bangladesh.
