Injured Shakib to remain under observation
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan will remain under the observation of the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) medical wing following his injury scare against New Zealand, said a press release from the BCB.
Shakib felt some discomfort near his left quadriceps while batting during the team's ICC ODI World Cup match against the Kiwis in Chennai.
The all-rounder was taken for an MRI after the match.
Although the board hasn't revealed what came up in the scans, the board did send an update on Shakib's current condition.
"The player felt uncomfortable in the left quadriceps region when he was batting. He later fielded and completed his full quota of ten overs. He had an MRI scan done after the game and we will continue to observe his fitness for the coming matches," national team's physio Bayjedul Islam Khan was quoted as saying in the press release.
"We will clinically assess his day-to-day progress and take measures accordingly," the statement added.
The team has travelled to Pune from Chennai on Saturday ahead of their next match in the World Cup, which will be against hosts India on October 19. Skipper Shakib is in Pune with the team.
