Bangladesh’s Tests and T20Is captain Shakib al Hasan returned back to the training session on Tuesday after a long layoff due to injury that he sustained during the final of the Bangladesh Premier League.
The talismanic all-rounder returned home after an extended vacation this week as he was ruled out of the three-match ODI’s series against New Zealand and the following two Test matches due to the finger injury during the BPL final between Dhaka Dynamites and Comilla Victorians as he copped a blow from Thisara Perera while batting and suffered a fracture.
Whether he will be available for the third Test is yet not determined but his return back to the field only indicates his own urgency to get back to the cricket ground.
Shakib had gone through an x-ray on Monday and the report suggests that he will need another week before removing the bandage from his finger. Despite bandage on his injured finger on the left-hand, he spent half-an hour in the gymnasium with the BCB physio while have to cut short his running session at the academy premises due to unexpected rain.
BCB physio Morshed Hasan, who was in charge of Shakib rehabilitation program, told Cricfrenzy that they don’t want to rush anything with him and suggested at present they have designed a one-week program for the all-rounder.
“He will do physical training for the next one week and later we will decide our next course of action,’’ said Morshed.
“He is expected to do running while there will be gym session and everything will take place to increase his strength and stability,’’ he said. “I cannot say whether he can play or but it is very unlikely that he will start his skill training before a week,’’ he added.
