Bangladesh former Test captain Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the Test due to a strain on his left thigh. Bangladesh has replaced him with all-rounder Soumya Sarkar. Tiger captain Mominul Haque thinks that there will not be much problem without the presence of Shakib.
Premier all-rounder is a two in one package for Bangladesh, so his with absence Tigers will have to rely on an expert batsman and another bowler.

"The thing is, the way you take it, if you think without Shakib Al Hasan the team will not work, Bangladesh will not work either. You see, when Shakib bhai was not there, Bangladesh team was still keep going.” team captain told in a virtual press conference before the second Test against the Caribbean.
