Bangladesh pace spearhead Shoriful Islam is a doubt for the team's first match of the T20 World Cup after he split the webbing between his index and middle finger while fielding a warm-up in New York on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The injury to the left-armer's bowling hand needed stitches and leaves him racing against time to make Bangladesh's opening match against Sri Lanka on Friday in Dallas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"He's got six stitches," Bangladesh Cricket Board physician Debashis Chowdhury said in a video message on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Considering his importance, we are trying to give our best so that he can come back quickly," Chowhdury said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The left-armer paceman tried to stop a drive from Hardik Pandya in the final over of India's innings and was hit on his bowling hand. He was taken from the field for treatment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Struggling Bangladesh, who lost the match by 60 runs, are also battling to get fellow pace bowler Taskin Ahmed fit for the Sri Lanka clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Taskin missed the recent three-match series against the United States, which Bangladesh lost 2-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
