In the final match of the recently concluded West Indies series, Nurul Hasan Sohan was part of the playing eleven. However, during the match, he sustained an ankle injury while fielding. As a result, the wicketkeeper-batter will be sidelined for several days due to this injury.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board’s medical department informed Dhaka Post that Sohan’s X-ray report did not show any fractures. He was examined again by doctors today, who provided an update on how long he will be out of action. It appears that Sohan has suffered a ligament injury.
Overall, he will be unavailable for a period of three weeks. It is expected that he will return to the field for the T20 series against Ireland, as he is anticipated to recover in time for the series.
Meanwhile, like Sohan, Shariful Islam also picked up an injury during the final T20 match. He sustained a hamstring injury. Reports suggest it is a Grade One injury, which is classified as a minor strain. In such cases, recovery typically takes around 14 days, so Shariful is expected to make a full recovery within that time frame. He, too, is set to return to action during the Ireland series.
