As per reported in Wah Cricket "It was a new ground so we wanted feedback from the team," said chief selector Minhajul Abedin.
"They reached Dehradun yesterday and found the pitch a bit grassy, so we decided to send a pace bowler. Otherwise, we would have sent a spinner." Abul's last four Twenty20 internationals were against Pakistan in 2012.
During the tri-series that involved Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe Abul played last match for Bangladesh in January. Since his international debut in 2012, he struggled to scalped wickets. He has taken only five wickets in 14 matches across formats, at an overall average of 144.60.
