Litton is knocked out, uncertain in the Asia Cup

Bangladesh opener Litton Das has been ruled out of the Zimbabwe series due to injury. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the matter. Litton suffered a hamstring injury while batting in the first ODI against Zimbabwe. At that time, he was batting with 81 runs.

Litton, injured while running, had to leave the field on a stretcher, and he will be out of action for three to four weeks to recover from the injury. Meanwhile, the Asia Cup is going to start in the United Arab Emirates on August 27, and this star batsman has become uncertain even in that continental tournament.

Sunny, the physio of the Bangladesh team, said that the injured Litton was scanned during the match. The report diagnosed a grade-2 muscle strain. It takes three to four weeks to recover from this type of injury. As a result, Litton will not be able to play in the Zimbabwe series. Mushfiqur Rahim suffered finger pain in the same match. Pacer Shariful Islam also felt pain in the hamstring.

However, the physio said that their injuries were not serious. Sunny said, ”Mushfiq has pain in his finger. But not seriously. Hopefully, he will be able to play in the next match. Shariful is slightly paralyzed due to the immediate injury. I hope to get a good report soon.”
