Bangladesh's captain for the Twenty20 international series against Zimbabwe Nurul Hasan will miss the rest of tour due to a finger injury, the country's cricket board said on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The wicketkeeper-batsman hurt his left index finger while keeping against fast bowler Hasan Mahmud during Sunday's second T20 international at the Harare Sports Club, which Bangladesh won by 7 wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We did an X-ray which revealed a fracture to the index finger," a Bangladesh Cricket Board statement quoted national team physio Muzadded Alpha as saying.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Such injuries take about three weeks to recover from. He is therefore out of Tuesday's last T20I match and the upcoming ODI series," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The three-match T20 series is currently locked at 1-1, with Zimbabwe having won the opening match by 17 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A BCB spokesman told AFP the captain for Tuesday's series decider would be announced in due course.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nurul replaced batsman Mahmudullah Riyad as captain for the Zimbabwe T20s, and is widely expected to lead Bangladesh in the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia in October-November.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
