Will Mehidy Hasan Miraz Play 3rd And Final ODI vs Australia?

As things stand, a report from Crickbuuz stated that Miraz has been sent home but he will miss the training session on June 13, casting doubt over his participation for the 3rd ODI on June 14. However, the same report added that there are no changes to the squad for the third ODI.

Although it seems that Bangladesh will allow Mehidy to rest because the Tigers have already clinched the series. In his absence, Najmul Hossain Shanto is most likely to lead the team.

However, Bangladesh will certainly miss Mehidy Hasan Miraz if he misses the final ODI. So far, in the series, Miraz has scored 25 runs in 2 innings, while he was yet to pick a wicket. Although, his leadership was on point, which will be missed because Bangladesh are searching for a clean sweep.
