In a massive setback for Bangladesh, their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the remaining ICC Men’s T20I World Cup 2021, taking place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“Shakib sustained a left lower hamstring strain while fielding during the match against the West Indies,” the team’s doctor, Debashis Chowdhury, said in a statement. “He is ruled out from participation in the last two matches of the tournament and until further review.”
Shakib scored 131 runs and picked up 11 wickets in six games that he played in the mu𓄧lti-nation𝓀 tournament before suffering a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said it would not call up a replacemeཧnt fo🦩r Shakib.
