Mustafizur Rahman is set to leave Dhaka on July 13 to finally join Sussex for his first county stint. He will be available for four matches each in the NatWest T20 Blast and the Royal London One-Day Cup, reports ESPNcricinfo.

BCB's media committee chairman Jalal Yunus said that Mustafizur's medical report was positive and he was expecting the UK visa imminently. Mustafizur was recovering from multiple injuries to his right leg, which he sustained during the IPL.

"Our medical team gave positive report about his physical condition," Yunus told New Age. "He is doing fine in training at the moment and we expect him to improve. He will leave for England on July 13 subject to the availability of visa."

Mustafizur's first match is likely to be Sussex's home T20 game against Hampshire on July 15. He will be with his new team till at least August 2, when the league stage of the one-day competition ends, and will also be around if they make it to the knockout stages of both tournaments.

"I feel better than I was after I came to Dhaka from the IPL. I can bowl now, which I wasn't able to previously," Mustafizur said. "It would be good to go to Sussex. I will try to give my best there. I have played one Under-19 game in England in 2013 but had to return home soon after due to an injury."

His arrival will end Sussex's frustration about his delay, for which they have had to hire David Weise and lately Nuwan Kulasekara to replace him as their overseas player.
