A member of the Bangladesh team management on Monday finally talked to the media about skipper Shakib Al Hasan's latest injury concern but still could not present a clear picture regarding the matter.

"At times, you might feel pain while walking but that is not the case for Shakib which is the reason we are hopeful [about his condition]. But there is a difference between walking slowly and being able to run in the field since he hurt himself while taking a run," Khaled Mahmud Sujon, the Bangladesh team director, told reporters in Pune yesterday.

Mahmud said that Shakib had a tear, but did not provide the exact details about his left thigh injury which he sustained in the Tigers' previous game against New Zealand in Chennai on Friday.

The former Bangladesh captain said that they would wait and see how the all-rounder reacts when the team resumes training today after a two-day break ahead of their encounter against hosts India on October 19.

However, a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) source told The Daily Star that Shakib had a Grade-1 tear which requires more than a week of rest to recover.    

The source further said that it would be wise for Shakib to sit out the India fixture to avoid further aggravating his injury, which could rule him out of the entire tournament. 

Bangladesh team director Mahmud informed that the ace all-rounder will undergo yet another scan after batting in the nets today.

Shakib felt discomfort near his left quadriceps while batting in Bangladesh's previous game against New Zealand and following an MRI scan, the team management issued a press release informing that they would 'assess his condition on a day-to-day basis', keeping enough room for speculation regarding the entire matter.

Shakib, however, is willing to play the game against India, informed Mahmud.

"Suppose, we say Shakib is 90 to 95 percent fit but we will have to see how things pan out when he trains on the field. His running will be observed tomorrow [today]. He batted and also bowled 10 overs even after suffering the injury blow in the previous game. If that is the case, that is if he does not feel any discomfort then maybe he can play. Shakib wants to play, but it will depend on his 100 percent fitness," Mahmud said.
