Here's what New Age had to say about it:

Naeem joins squad but only just
Second Test from today
Azad Majumder A drama unfolded within the Bangladesh cricket team over the inclusion of all-rounder Naeem Islam ahead of the second Test against India beginning at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium today.
The selectors have added the all-rounder at the eleventh hour much to the surprise of coach Jamie Siddons, who claimed that he had not been consulted before Naeem's inclusion in the team. Siddons also ruled out any chance of Naeem playing in the match.
Siddons was seen having a long chat with chief selector Rafiqul Alam in front of the indoor practice facilities on Saturday, but the coach told New Age that they only discussed about the squad for New Zealand tour.
Bangladesh will leave home for New Zealand on January 28 for a brief series which includes a Twenty20 International, three one-day internationals and a Test match. Selectors are expected to name the squad for the series during the Dhaka Test against India. When contacted chief selector Rafiqul Alam also admitted that they included Naeem keeping in mind the New Zealand trip and unless any unexpected situation arises he will not play in Dhaka.
'Naeem is certain to tour New Zealand. So we decided to induct him into the Test squad to give him a chance for preparation,' said Alam.
'Also we have a plan to release the players, who will neither play in the Test match nor will be touring New Zealand, for National Cricket League duty. In that case we will need some extra players to serve the team in the Test,' he said.
The third round of the National Cricket League will begin on January 26.
Top-order batsman Shahriar Nafees is most likely the player to get the marching order as his chance of playing either in the second Test match or touring New Zealand is slim. The fitness of Shahriar came under serious scrutiny in the first Test when he made only 27 runs in two innings.
Junaed Siddique will replace him in one-down position. The poor fitness of Shahriar helped Imrul Kayes retain his place despite the opener made only 24 runs.
Kayes dropped Sachin Tendulkar on 16 in the first innings and Gautam Gambhir on 55 in the second innings and both the batsmen went on to score a century, which was one of the decisive factors in the first Test. A couple of changes are on card in the Indian team as well with skipper Mahendra Singh Dohni, who missed the first Test for back spasm, is all set to return. Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh is also set to return after recovering from a stiff neck.
Dhoni and Harbhajan will replace VVS Laxman and Shantakumaran Sreesanth, who are injured. Laxman damaged his left hand attempting a catch in the second innings while Sreersanth is suffering from a hamstring injury.
