Mashrafe homebound

Bangladesh ODI skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza is coming home tonight from the UK after learning that his wife Sumona Huq has been hospitalised.

Sumona is now under treatment at a Dhaka hospital while their son Sahil Mortaza is also ill, which made him seek a short leave from the team management.

The Narail Express will fly back to the UK on 4 May if everything turns out fine.

It had been just two days the Tigers started their conditioning camp at Sussex.

Bangladesh will play a tri-nation series beginning 12 May.
