The high time of the cricket is going on. The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 is going on in its glory. It is a golden opportunity for all teams. They are trying hard to get the ultimate success. In between the tournament, Bangladesh had a setback. Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib al Hasan suffered an injury in the last match of Bangladesh. Then a question was raised about his availability in the match against India. Bangladesh cricket team director is still optimistic about his arrival against India.
The Injury:
Shakib al Hasan is a star all-rounder of the team. The Bangladeshi skipper sustained an injury in left quad in the match against New Zealand. Bangladesh lost the match by 7 wickets. Despite the injury, Shakib continued batting and bowling in the match. But he was in serious pain.
Bangladesh cricket team’s director Khaled Mahmud talked about the injury and Shakib’s availability in the match. He said, “ Shakib is getting better. He is pain-free. But we will know the full scenario when he hits the nets tomorrow. He will also be running between the wickets. We are hopeful that he can play against India. He worked in a swimming session, and some upper-half work in the gym today. There will be a scan tomorrow which will give us a clearer picture of his situation. Usually, these injuries produce a lot of pain. It is tough to walk around even. He is quite well. It is giving us hope.”
