Dhaka, 31 May -Pace bowler Shoriful Islam will be sidelined from the cricket for two weeks due to a muscle injury sustained during the second T20 International game against Pakistan on Friday.
"Shoriful sustained an injury while bowling during the second T20 International against Pakistan in Lahore on Friday," National team physio Delowar Hossain Siva said.
"Subsequent medical assessments, including an MRI scan, have revealed a Grade 1 strain of the rectus femoris muscle on his right side," he revealed.
"As a result of the injury, Shoriful has been ruled out of selection for the next two to three weeks to allow for appropriate recovery and rehabilitation under the supervision of the BCB Medical Team."
Bangladesh suffered a 57-rund defeat to Pakistan in the second match and as a
result lost the three-match series with a game to spare.
Shoriful, however, will not be available for tomorrow's third and final T20
international against Pakistan.BSS
