Mortaza a doubt for third one-dayer against Zimbabwe

BOGRA, Bangladesh, Dec 4 (Reuters) Bangladesh bowler Mashrafe Mortaza is a doubt for tomorrow's third one-day international against Zimbabwe due to a shoulder injury.

''He is complaining of pain in his right shoulder. We will wait until tomorrow morning to see whether he can play,'' captain Habibul Bashar told reporters today.

Syed Rasel stands by in case Mortaza does not improve, Bashar said.

Mortaza suffered a muscle pull while delivering the last ball of his spell in the second match on Sunday when Bangladesh won by six wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

Mortaza has played in 46 one-dayers, claiming 58 wickets at 32.20.
