BSS, Dhaka :
Fast bowler Rubel Hossain is unlikely to make his way into the final squad for three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka because of the recurring back injury even though the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) medical department pushed the ball to his court to decide whether to play the series.
According to BCB chief physician Dr. Debashish Chowhdury, Rubel can understand better whether he should play as he has no pain clinically.
“He (Rubel) had some problems while in New Zealand and at the moment he has no clinical pain,” Dr. Chowdhury said on Sunday.
“In fact, he has to understand the matter of match fitness. We checked and found no pain at the moment. But his confidence or inner feelings must also be given importance. We will update at the last minute if our selectors want any input from us regarding him.”
Rubel Hossain has been one of the best weapons of Bangladesh’s pace attack in limited overs cricket despite failing to justify his talent in the longer format.
Dr. Chowdhury said the players who play at the elite level always play through minor injury and niggles and so Rubel has to make it clear whether he is match fit.
