The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that ace all-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan has been diagnosed with a thigh strain. Shakib was carried off the field on the second day of the first Test between Bangladesh and West Indies going on at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhary Stadium in Chattogram.
The BCB in an official statement confirmed that it was a new injury and not the same one that the 33-year-old suffered from in the last ODI of the three-match ODI series against the same opposition that concluded last week.
“He recovered from his previous groin injury ahead of the first Test and successfully managing to bat in the Bangladesh first innings as well as send down six overs, all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has suffered a strain in a different region of his left thigh while fielding on day two,'' said BCB told the press on Friday.
In the first innings, Shakib had scored 68 runs before getting out to Rahkeem Cornwall. While in the field he could bowl only six overs in which he gave away 16 runs without taking a wicket. Whether he would take any further part in the game or not is not clear.
''The injury was confirmed by an MRI scan this morning. The BCB medical team will continue to treat and review his progress over the course of the first Test,'' the BCB statement added.
