Shakib Al Hasan sustains injury ahead of Asia Cup T20 final

The Bangladesh team has been hit with a major blow ahead of the Asia Cup T20 final against India. Shakib Al Hasan their mainstay has sustained a “left hip-flex injury” during a training session.

While practicing, Shakib was hit by a delivery in his left thigh region and was later spotted using ice-pack. He looked in pain and walked with a slight limp. The all-rounder came out to practice on Saturday but did not go for long.

Bangladesh will definitely not want to risk one of their key players right ahead of the World T20. Bayjedul Islam the tem Physio, however, looked confidence that Shakib will be available in the final on Sunday.

“Shakib has sustained a hip-flex injury after being hit by a delivery during yesterday’s net session. These injuries in common language can be termed as thigh-muscle injury. These are known as ‘conditional injuries’, which normally heals in 48 hours. Today during option practice, he felt the pain again and didn’t practice much. But we are hoping that he will play tomorrow,” the physio said.

He also said that they will give him the prescribed medication, but it might or might not do the trick, since it varies from individual to individual.

“Medication can be taken but it may or may not work for a particular individual. Let us hope and pray that he will be okay without any need for medication.”
