Bangladesh- Sri Lanka Series
Chaos in Bangladesh camp as three players suffer injury
|| CF DESK ||
In a dramatic turn of events during the Sri Lanka innings, chaos ensued for Bangladesh as three players suffered injuries in the closing overs of Sri Lanka's innings.
Mustafizur Rahman and substitute fielder Jaker Ali were both stretchered off the field, while Soumya Sarkar sustained a neck injury while fielding, ruling him out for the remainder of the match.
The situation escalated when Soumya, stepping up to bowl the 48th over after Mustafizur's injury, himself succumbed to a neck injury during fielding in the final over.
Consequently, he won't be able to participate in Bangladesh's chase. In response, the team management swiftly named Tanzid Hasan Tamim as his concussion substitute.
Adding to the turmoil, substitute fielder Jaker collided with Anamul Haque during an attempted catch in the final over, resulting in his stretchered exit from the field and subsequent hospitalization.
Compounding the challenges, on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough was forced to withdraw due to the sweltering heat, necessitating the intervention of fourth umpire Tanvir Ahmed to assume officiating duties.
