Test match toss and preview: Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat in a one-off Test against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club on Wednesday.
The tourists suffered a pre-match blow when batsman Tamim Iqbal failed a late fitness test on an injured knee.
Mominul Haque, who hopes to improve a record of just one win in eight Tests as captain, hailed the qualities of Iqbal in an eve-of-match news conference.
However, Haque will be happy to have Shakib al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad back for the first visit by the Tigers to Zimbabwe since 2013.
Zimbabwe included two new caps, opening batsman Takudzwwanashe Kaitano and Dion Myers, in a side lacking unavailable captain Sean Williams.
