In a turn of events after Friday’s intense face-off against New Zealand, Bangladesh’s cricket captain Shakib al Hasan found himself undergoing a scan for his left quad injury. The game took a toll on Shakib, leaving him nursing his injury, prompting immediate medical attention. Simultaneously, New Zealand’s captain, Kane Williamson, is set to undergo a scan on his left thumb this Saturday, adding to the injury woes of the teams.
“Shakib is undergoing a scan due to his left quad injury,” confirmed a BCB official on Friday. The severity of Shakib’s injury will determine the course of action, with decisions to be made based on his condition. Bangladesh, having faced setbacks with two losses in three fixtures, anxiously await Shakib’s recovery, especially with their next match scheduled in Pune against India on October 19, just six days away.
On the other side, New Zealand is equally concerned about Williamson’s thumb injury. Despite making a remarkable comeback to ODI cricket and contributing significantly with a stellar 78 in his team’s triumph, the scan results will unveil the extent of his injury. Both teams find themselves grappling with the challenge of captaincy setbacks, casting a shadow over their upcoming clash.
