The members of the Bangladesh's squad for Twenty20 World Cup underwent a mandatory Covid-19 test on Saturday as they will leave the country on Sunday for Oman's city Muscat.
Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman, who are in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) now to play in the IPL, had no chance to give the sample. But since they have been in IPL bubble, they can join the side in Muscat straightway.
