New Delhi (ZiraDaily) - Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the World Cup due to a fracture in his left index finger that he suffered while batting against Sri Lanka in New Delhi on Monday.
Shakib will miss Bangladesh’s last match against against Australia in Pune on November 11.
“Shakib was struck on his left index finger early in his innings but continued to bat with supportive taping and painkillers,” Bangladesh team physio Bayjedul Islam Kha was quoted as saying by the ICC.
“He underwent an emergency X-ray in Delhi after the game which confirmed the fracture on the left PIP joint. Recovery is estimated at three to four weeks. He will leave for Bangladesh today to begin his rehab.”
