Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the first Test against Sri Lanka starting on 31st January. After suffering an injury to his left little finger during the final of the Rocket Tri-Nation Series against Sri Lanka on Saturday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the city’s Mirpur. Shakib, Bangladesh Test captain, hurt the base of the fifth finger while fielding, said a BCB press release on Saturday.
BCB’s senior physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury said, “The X-ray did not find any fracture. However, there is subluxation/joint sprain at the base of the little finger on his left hand. He has been assessed by a cosmetic
surgeon and necessary repairs have been done. The affected finger will have to be immobilized for at least a week before further assessment is made which means he is out of the first Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.”
Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Sunzamul Islam and leg-break bowler Tanbir Hayder have been drafted in the Bangladesh squad for the first Test against Sri Lanka.
