Shakib Al Hasan, may be sidelined for the second Test match against India

Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh's top all-round player, may be sidelined for the second Test match against India, which gets off at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur on Friday, September 27. During the first game of the series in Chennai, the southpaw hurt his finger. After being hit by a scorching ball from Jasprit Bumrah, Shakib sustained an injury that prevented him from bowling for extended stretches of the Test match. Throughout two innings, the left-hander bowled a total of 21 overs.

With only a few days till the second Test in Kanpur begins, the management of the Bangladesh cricket team is reportedly still debating whether or not Shakib would be available for it. This information was reported on CricBuzz. The Bangladesh Cricket Board's Hannan Sarkar has stated that a decision about Shakib's availability won't be made until after the two training sessions in Kanpur.
