"We have selected Tushar Imran and told him to get ready but he will only fly if the team management asked for a replacement of Habib (Habibul Bashar)," said chief selector Faruque Ahmed yesterday.

But there is a slim chance for Tushar to join the team in Zimbabwe as he is likely to tour in Kenya where Bangladesh will play three one-day internationals against the ICC associate member.

Bashar has been ruled out of the remaining three games against Zimbabwe and the three ODIs in Kenya due to a hand injury which he received during the second match at the Harare Sports Club ground on Sunday.
