    Bangladesh Cricket Board: Bangladesh fast-bowler Shoriful Islam has missed the second Test against Pakistan at Rawalpindi due to a groin injury. Fellow pacer Taskin Ahmed has replaced him in Bangladesh's playing eleven, which marks his return to the longer format after a year.

    "Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam has a groin strain and could not be considered for selection in the second Test against Pakistan which got underway in Rawalpindi today. The left-arm pacer had complained of discomfort in the groin area after the first match and subsequent tests confirmed the injury," said the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in a statement.

    Bayjedul Islam Khan, the Bangladesh team physio, explained that Shoriful showed signs of discomfort after the first Test at Rawalpindi, which the visitors’ won by ten wickets, marking their first-ever Test win against Pakistan. “Shoriful underwent an MRI following the first Test and the results show a Grade 1 left adductor strain. Recovery usually takes around 10 days in such cases and he has started his rehab.”
