DHAKA, May 29, 2018 (BSS) – Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has been
ruled out of next month’s Twent20 International series against Afghanistan in
Dehradun, India after picking up an injury to his left foot, a Bangladesh
Cricket Board (BCB) press release said today.
The cutter master Mustafiz had joined the national team’s training camp
last week following his return from India, where he had appeared in the
Indian Premier League (IPL), but complained of pain.Subsequent tests have
revealed a crack on his left big toe which will sideline him for a few weeks.
BCB’s senior physician Dr Debashis Chowdhury said: “An x-ray followed by a
CT scan has confirmed a hairline fracture on the big toe. It takes around
three to four weeks to recover from such injuries and therefore he (Mustafiz)
can’t play against Afghanistan. We expect him to start rehab in two weeks
after which we will continue to monitor and assess him.”
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh national cricket team left for India this morning
to take part in the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan scheduled to
be held on June 3-7.
