Injury setback: Litton Das to miss BAN T20I match vs AFG
Bangladesh will face Afghanistan without skipper Litton Das, who has been ruled out of the T20Is tour due to an injury. Scans showed a Grade 1 strain in his left abdominal muscle, which he picked up during the Asia Cup.
Das already missed the team’s last two matches in that event, and doctors have now advised rest. ‘I think he will need at least three weeks to recover, so chances are slim of seeing him during the series,’ a Bangladesh team official shared. His absence is a big blow for the Tigers, as he is both the captain and a key batter at the top of the order.
With Das on the sideline, wicketkeeper Jaker Ali will step in as the captain for the series. He’s also the one who took charge in the Asia Cup, and now has another chance to guide the Tigers.
The three-match T20Is vs Afghanistan begin on Thursday, October 2, in Sharjah, UAE.
