Dhaka, March 21 -- Young batsman Towhid Hridoy has received his maiden call up to Bangladesh Test squad ahead of the first match against Sri Lanka where he will replace Mushfiqur Rahim.

The veteran wicket-keeper batsman has been ruled out of the Test series with a finger injury, according to bdnews24.com.

The selectors have kept faith in Hridoy, as he has become an important cog in the ODIs and Twenty20s.

Mushfiqur sustained an injury on his right thumb after being hit by a Taskin Ahmed delivery while keeping during their series-winning victory in the final ODI against Sri Lanka in Chattogram on Monday.
