Mustafizur Rahman is likely to miss the West Indies tour, which includes the ODI series and T20I series. The Bangladeshi speedster is going on paternal leave, as he is becoming a father. He reportedly has appealed for a leave to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in the month of December. Bangladesh will lock horns with the West Indies in the ODI Series from October 8, playing the first ODI at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts, and having the third T20I on December 19 at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent.

BCB supports Mustafizur's decision A BCB official said, as informed by Cricbuzz, "It's true that he (Mustafizur) asked for leave (during the white-ball series against West Indies) but we are yet to take a decision as there is still time in our hand. Let him come and we can talk over the matter and see whether he can be available for one format (ODIs, T20Is) or not. At the same time we have to consider this is a family issue and it is top priority for everyone." Currently, he is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) playing against Afghanistan in the three-match ODI series. According to the reports, Mustafizur may return to Dhaka on November 13, Wednesday. Bangladesh will face the West Indies in their opening Test starting on November 22 at Antigua's Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The majority of players will directly travel to the West Indies after concluding the face-off with Afghanistan in Dubai.
