He will be playing for Rajshahi Division considering he gets fit.
Mushfiqur will be back in the international arena with the home Test series against India in November.
The veteran batter had recently announced his retirement from T20 International cricket following Bangladesh's disastrous Asia Cup campaign. He also looked out-of-sort during the tournament, which prompted critics to lash at him vehemently.
