Shoriful Misses Out With Injury As Bangladesh Name Squad For India Tests
Pacer Shoriful Islam: Pacer Shoriful Islam has missed out on Bangladesh’s squad for the upcoming Test tour of India, starting on September 19 in Chennai, due to a groin injury. In place of Shoriful, Bangladesh have included uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali Anik in its 16-member Test squad.
Shoriful, 23, had sustained a groin injury during Bangladesh’s first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, which they won by ten wickets, with the pacer taking three wickets. He then missed the second game at the same venue, which was also won by Bangladesh by six wickets to register a historic 2-0 series triumph.
"Left-arm paceman Shoriful Islam is still recovering from a groin injury and was unavailable for the series," said the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in its statement. Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, and Nahid Rana – heroes of Bangladesh’s Test series win in Pakistan – retain their places in the fast-bowling line-up alongside Khaled Ahmed.
