The experienced left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique has been restored to the Bangladesh side for the final two one-day internationals against Zimbabwe. He missed the first three games with a hamstring injury he picked up during the second Test, which preceded this one-day series.
Rafique, 34, returns in place of Abdur Razzaq in the only change to the 14-man squad from the first three games.
Zimbabwe currently lead 2-1, so need to win one of the two remaining matches - at Dhaka on Saturday and Monday - to clinch the series.
