After defeating Sri Lanka in a highly dramatic and incident-filled match in Delhi, the Bangladesh team was supposed to come back with some relief. However, that relief vanished as captain Shakib Al Hasan was sidelined with an injury. When the Bangladesh team is coming to Pune from Delhi, Shakib is catching the country’s plane.
The cricketers left for Pune at 2:00 pm in an ICC chartered flight from Delhi. They were in a very cheerful mood after winning the match the previous night after coming back from a losing streak.
Latest news on The Daily Star Bangla Google News Channel.
On reaching Pune, the Bangladesh team is fully rested on Tuesday. Even Wednesday is unlikely to practice. After practicing on Thursday and Friday, Nazmul Hossain Shantara will face Australia on Saturday.
Bangladesh team created history by timing out Angelo Mathews in Delhi on Monday. But it also created extreme controversy. In this way, many former stars of world cricket have criticized the dismissal of Mathews.
Shakib was the hero of the team’s victory by playing an innings of 82 runs from 65 balls in the eventful match against Sri Lanka. BCB said Shakib injured his left hand finger on the way to play that innings. After the game, an X-ray revealed that the finger had been torn. He was also dropped from the upcoming Test series against New Zealand, not just the last match against Australia.
Earlier, Bangladesh played against India in Pune on October 19. Shakib could not play in that match due to injury. Bangladesh did not get Shakib in the second match at the same venue. Shakib’s journey on the World Cup stage ended in silence.
