Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2021 with a hamstring injury. The all-rounder suffered injury during the clash vs West Indies on Friday.
“He pulled up while fielding during Bangladesh’s game against West Indies, though he did bowl four overs after suffering the injury and even opened the innings while chasing,” said ICC in a release.
“Shakib sustained a left lower hamstring strain while fielding during the match against the West Indies. In clinical examination it was diagnosed as an injury of Grade 1 intensity,” said chief physician of the BCB, Debashish Chowdhury.
“He is ruled out from participation in the last two matches of the tournament and until further review.”
However, Bangladesh have not named any replacement for Shakib as they don’t have any travelling reserve.
Bangladesh have lost all of their three Super 12 matches after ending at second spot in Round 1 Group A.
The Mahmudullah-led side has two more games remaining – against South Africa on November 2 followed by Australia on November 4.
