Having watched Mustafizur clutching on to the shoulder with his other hand, Tamim Iqbal ran up to the 20-year-old and advised him to leave the field immediately.

"The injuries are old for him -- both the shoulder strain and the elbow injury. So we didn't take any chances though he had just a ball remaining. We wanted to get him treated as soon as possible," Mashrafe said.

"Although the matter is of concern at the moment, usually nothing serious happens from these injuries. I hope it really isn't and that he recovers."

Bangladesh lead the four match Twenty20 International series 2-0 with the third match to be played here on Wednesday.
