Bangladesh’s Mehidy out of Sri Lanka Test with injury

Bangladesh suffered a blow in advance of the subsequent month’s Test collection against Sri Lanka with off-spinner Mehidy Hasan dominating out of as a minimum the first fit with a finger injury.

Mehidy has been a normal starter for Bangladesh in Tests and is the country’s 1/3-maximum wicket-taker within the format as well as a beneficial lower-order batsman.

Bangladesh Cricket Board physician Manzur Hossain advised that the 24-year-antique fractured his right little finger at some stage in a domestic shape at the weekend.

“The X-ray revealed a fracture in his finger. Usually, it takes around four weeks to recover so he is definitely ruled out of the first Test and is also uncertain for the second Test against Sri Lanka,” said Manzur.

The first Test is in Chittagong from May 15 to 19. The 2d Test can be held in Dhaka from May 23 to 27.
