Mahmudullah, a nemesis for Zimbabwe, has presided over 43 matches, winning 16 and losing 26.

Also rested is super-all-rounder Shakib Al-Hassan as well as Mushfiqur Rahim from the entire tour..

“ We have made several changes in the team and have rested Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan to try out a few young players,” Yunus added.
