After the IPL victory, Mustafizur has flown back to Dhaka to attend a test organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) medical team.
When he was asked about his English County debut by 'Telegraph’, Mustafizur said: “Let the BCB first make an assessment, only after that we will know when I can go to Sussex.”
Injuries dog most fast bowlers and Mustafizur's body is still developing—so his coaches and BCB need to closely monitor his workload, says the 'Telegraph’.
For his national duties he would not be required before Bangladesh tour of India in September, during one Test will surely be played and perhaps a few ODIs.
Featuring in Indian Premier League (IPL) for the winning franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mustafizur played sixteen matches.
He also became the franchise’s second highest wicket taker and grabbed the fifth spot in overall IPL IX session.
