Bashar returns to see sick mum


Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar will return home after the third and final one-dayer against Sri Lanka on Sunday to be by his ailing mother.

Bashar's mother Rizia Begum, 60, suffered a heart attack a couple of days ago in Kushtia. She is now been treated at the NICVD (National Institute for Cardio Vascular Diseases).

She is expected to undergo an angiogram on Monday and Bashar was expected to be with her at the time.

The 32-year-old was granted compassionate leave for a week and is expected to re-join the team before the first Test start on September 12.
