Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan is doubtful for the upcoming New Zealand white ball away series in December following their home Test series against the Kiwis later this month.
Shakib has already been ruled out of the home series due to his fractured finger, which he is carrying from the ODI World Cup.
When Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) doctor Debashis Chowdhury was contacted to know Shakib's current condition, he told Cricfrenzy that Shakib's injury will be re-examined after three weeks.
“Our job was to change and bandage. We have to wait for 3 weeks to understand the next situation. This takes ususally three weeks to do the X-ray; it's not that time yet. If you don't wait for three weeks, you won't really understand. So after three weeks we will check the X-ray and take a decision,” said Debashis.

The Southpaw's treatment will start his rehabilitation program if the X-ray results are good after three weeks. Skill practice after running and fielding. All in all, it may take another three-four weeks to return to the field after the scan.
"Theoretically, for 3-4 weeks there is no playing condition. After that, it takes more time. The final thing is, after 3-4 weeks, it will all depend on the scan." he added.
Bangladesh team is scheduled to leave Dhaka for New Zealand in the return series on December 11 or 12. Shakib will not be available on that trip to play 3 ODIs and T20s as per his condition.
Meanwhile, Shakib has collected Bangladesh ruling party Awami League’s nomination forms for three constituencies for the upcoming 12th parliamentary elections, which will be held on 7th January 2024.
