Bangladesh may miss the service of opening batsmen Imrul Kayes during the two-match Test series opener against Pakistan next month due to hamstring injury, said Bangladesh Cricket Board official on Monday.

Imrul is yet to recover from a hamstring injury he suffered during the recent Bangladesh Premier League and though Imrul was retained by Islami Bank East Zone for the upcoming BCL he has the chance to play in the second and third round.

The zone-based first-class tournament starts on January 31.

Debashis also informed that Imrul has recovered well from his injury but they suggested him some rest before the Pakistan tour.

‘He has recovered well from the hamstring injury but still, we suggested him not to feature in BCL first-round match as there is a chance of him getting injured again,’ he said.
