Bangladesh opener Liton Das will miss the remainder of the one-day international series against Zimbabwe with a hamstring injury, the country's cricket board said Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Liton suffered the injury during Friday's five-wicket loss in the first game of the three-match series and will be sidelined for at least three weeks, said the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Liton made 81 before he retired hurt with the injury and underwent a scan which revealed a muscle strain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We did a scan of the injured right hamstring and the report has confirmed a grade two muscle strain," a BCB statement quoted Bangladesh physio Muzadded Alpha as saying.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Recovery from such injuries usually requires about three to four weeks. He will be assessed further in the coming days and will be put on a rehab plan."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh made 303-2 batting first in the game but Zimbabwe reached the target courtesy of an unbeaten 135 from Sikandar Raza and 110 from Innocent Kaia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was Bangladesh's first ODI defeat against Zimbabwe after 19 consecutive wins in nearly eight years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Liton is the second Bangladeshi player to be ruled out with injury during the ongoing Zimbabwe tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan returned home with a finger injury sustained during the second T20 international at Harare on July 31.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
