IND vs BAN: There comes a major blow for the Bangladesh team as their star player and captain Shakib-Al-Hasan is doubtful for their next fixture against India. Shakib is doubtful for their fixture against India on October 19 due to an injury to his left quadriceps which he sustained during their fixture against New Zealand.
During their game against the Black Caps, Shakib suddenly felt some discomfort in his left quadriceps while batting but preserved. However, he continued to field & deliver a full quota of ten overs. But after feeling a prolonged discomfort he was immediately rushed to the hospital for an MRI scan which could reveal the extent of his injury. Bangladesh’s team physio, Bayjedul Islam Khan, emphasized the need to observe Shakib’s fitness carefully as the team still has six more matches in the tournament.
Despite of Injury setback, Shakib’s commitment to represent his nation remains unmatched. On Monday, Bangladesh’s team director, Khaled Mahmud expressed hopes about Shakib’s chances of featuring in a fixture against India. He further mentioned that Shakib is not pain-free which is a positive sign for Shakib’s recovery.
