There is a lot of talk about Nahid Rana, the new pacer of the national team. He is currently the fastest pacer in the country. The promising pacer got his first call-up to the Test squad against Sri Lanka. The pacer’s debut in the team’s plan can also be made at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. However, before entering the field, a long-bodied pacer with a fit body is suddenly discussed. Opener Zakir Hasan suffered an injury to his bowling in practice.
Bangladesh started the practice at 10 am on field number 2 of Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Zakir, the team’s regular opener, entered the nets early. But Naheed’s bounced ball hit Zakir’s left index finger. After that Zakir came out of the net and took ice treatment. However, coach Chandika Hathurusinghe is not aware of this injury.
When asked about Zakir’s injury at the pre-match press conference, the coach fell from the sky! The coach said, ‘I don’t know exactly. He is actually not injured.’ Meanwhile, there are doubts about another pacer Shariful Islam. Shariful has mild pain in his back while playing the game. The left-handed pacer returned to Dhaka after the ODI series in Chittagong. Sylhet test starts tomorrow but he has not joined the team yet.
Shariful is scheduled to reach Sylhet this evening. However, there is no doubt about playing him, Hathurusinghe said, ‘Shariful is fine. He played a lot of white ball cricket. That is why we are giving him time. It was necessary for him. Because he has to bowl a lot of overs. He’s ready to play.’
