Bangladesh Out 2 Players From Asia Cup Due to Their Injuries

Due to the injuries to Hasan Mahmud and wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan Sohan, Bangladesh is experiencing some selection issues for the Asia Cup. Hasan, who hurt his ankle last week during practice, will be sidelined for up to a month, while Nurul, who underwent surgery just now on a finger ailment, needs time to heal. Liton Das’ hamstring injury last month and subsequent exclusion from the team caused Bangladesh a setback.

On Tuesday, the 17-person team will depart for Dubai from Dhaka, and it includes left-handed batsman Mohammad Naim, who impressed for Bangladesh A on their most recent tour of the West Indies.

Shakib Al Hasan will captain Bangladesh at the Asia Cup after being reinstated as the T20I captain earlier this month. However, the star all-rounder has low expectations for his team in the six-team competition and wants to concentrate on the T-20 World Cup, which will be played in October 2022.

When asked how his squad would do at the Asia Cup, Shakib replied, “I have no ambitions.

“These are the preparations for the (T20) World Cup, and my main goal is for us to do well there. We are living in a fool’s kingdom if someone believes that they can alter things in one or two days or that someone else will come and change them. If you have the capacity for practical thought, you will recognize our actual progress when the squad performs admirably at the World Cup in three months.”

Shane Watson, a former all-rounder for Australia, says Bangladesh made the correct choice in reappointing Shakib as captain and that the Asian nation can prosper under the 35-year-leadership. old’s

According to Watson in The ICC Review, “having a captain of Shakib’s caliber, I think it’s going to re-energize them.”

“He is incredibly knowledgeable. He has led Bangladesh as captain several times. Additionally, he has served as a captain in other franchise competitions, including the Bangladesh Premier League.”
