Mushfiqur Rahim becomes father of a baby boy

Bangladeshi wicketkeeper-batsman, Mushfiqur Rahim, has become father of a baby boy on Monday (February 5, 2018). His wife, Jannatul Kifayet, has given birth to their son at the Square Hospital at 9:30 O’clock in the morning. At this time, Mushfiqur was with his family members. However, both mother and son are healthy and well. The arrival of new family member has been confirmed by Mushfiqur’s father, Mahbub Hamid Tara.

The former captain of Bangladesh Test cricket, who was in Chittagong playing the first Test against Sri Lanka, boarded a flight to Dhaka on Sunday soon after the match ended. However, the first Test ended in a draw.

In order to be with this wife, he wanted to skip the match, but his request was not granted by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) as the home side was in the back foot losing Shakib Al Hasan, who injured his little finger on his left hand during the final Tri-Nation ODI Series against Sri Lanka on January 27.

Regular Test skipper, Shakib Al Hasan, will not be available for the second Test starting from 8 February at Dhaka because his injury has not been recovered yet, making the presence of Mushfiqur in the squad more vital for the Tigers.
