Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the upcoming home series against Pakistan due to an ongoing hamstring injury which also forced him to cut short his assignment with the national team at the ICC T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
Shakib Al Hasan had suffered a grade one hamstring injury while fielding during Bangladesh’s Super 12 match against defending champions West Indies on October 29 and needs at least 3 weeks to recover from it.
Bangladesh are scheduled to host Pakistan in a series of 3 T20Is at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on November 19, 20 and 22 in Dhaka.
It will be followed by two Tests at the Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium and Mirpur starting from November 26 and December 4 respectively. Shakib might be available for the red-ball games after the T20Is.
“Shakib will take at least three weeks to recover and get back to the field. He might be able to play the Test series,” Bangladesh Cricket Board’s chief physician Debashish Chowdhury was quoted as saying by cricbuzz.
During the World Cup, Shakib went past retired Sri Lankan legend Lasith Malinga to become the leading wicket-taker in T20 internationals with 117 scalps from 94 games at an average of 19.19 and a five-for.
Shakib was in brilliant form with the ball in the lead up to the World Cup even though he wasn’t too prolific in the wickets column for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the United Arab Emirates.
Shakib played the final four games of KKR’s campaign in place of the injured Andre Russell and picked 2 wickets and scored 9 runs.
