Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has been diagnosed with a retinal condition in his left eye. This revelation comes after the player reported visual function concerns.

"Shakib has been complaining of subtle issues with his left eye. After consulting Ophthalmologists in Bangladesh and abroad and after multiple eye assessments, it was confirmed that he is suffering from Extrafoveal Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSR) of the left eye. It has been decided that a conservative approach will be adopted for managing the issue for now," Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Senior Physician Dr. Debashis Chowdhury said.

“Extrafoveal Central Serous Chorioretinopathy is a condition that affects the retina, leading to visual disturbances. The medical team overseeing Shakib's case is optimistic about managing the condition effectively with a conservative approach.”

The problem first surfaced at the World Cup in India last year.

However, Rangpur Rider’s CEO Ishtiaq Sadek confirmed to Cricfrenzy that he will be available for the next fixture against Khulna Tigers.

“Shakib is returning to the country. He will travel to Sylhet tomorrow (25^th January) 4pm. He will play for us against Khulna.” Ishtiaq said.
