Injured Soumya ruled out of Pakistan T20 series
Bangladesh batter Soumya Sarkar was ruled out of the upcoming tour of Pakistan due to a back injury.
The left-hander has been experiencing right-sided lower back pain over the past week. The injury forced him to miss all three T20 Internationals against UAE, a series that Bangladesh lost by 2-1.
"Following medical evaluation, it has been determined that the injury requires an extended rehabilitation period of approximately 10 to 12 days,"
National team physio Bayjedul Islam Khan said.
"This effectively means that he will not be available for next week's three-match series in Pakistan."
The BCB has included Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the squad. The 27-year-old allrounder, who has represented Bangladesh in 29 T20 Internationals, is currently in Pakistan playing for the Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Miraz will join the national squad in Lahore upon completion of his PSL commitments, reports BSS.
