India vs Bangladesh test series: Pacer Shoriful Islam misses India tour due to injury
The Hindu
Bangladesh cricket team prepares for India tour without injured paceman Shoriful Islam, introducing uncapped Jaker Ali Anik.
Bangladesh paceman Shoriful Islam will miss the two-test series in India this month with a groin injury he suffered in Pakistan, the cricket board said on Thursday, September 12, 2024.
Bangladesh are on a high after winning both tests in Pakistan, where they registered their first test series victory against their Asian rivals.
Shoriful, 23, claimed three wickets in the first test in Rawalpindi but missed the second match with the injury.
"Left-arm paceman Shoriful Islam is still recovering from a groin injury and was unavailable for the series," the Bangladesh Cricket Board said after naming a 16-member squad for the India tour.
Uncapped Jaker Ali Anik has been drafted in as the second wicketkeeper even though Litton Das, who smashed a match-winning century in the second test against Pakistan, is set to retain the keeping gloves.
The first test in Chennai begins on September 19, while the second match is scheduled in Kanpur from September 27.
