I‌ND vs BAN | Shakib Al Hasan doubtful for Kanpur Test against India

The all-rounder was seen to bowl only 21 overs across both innings, conceding 129 runs without any wickets whereas his partner in the spin department, Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled 46 overs in the match. It was evident that skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto delayed Shakib’s introduction in India’s first innings with the on-air commentators clarifying the latter's finger injury. Moreover, the 37-year-old was seen taped on the finger on the third day of the first Test while fielding. 

“We are heading to Kanpur tomorrow and today is a day off. We will have two sessions afterward and we will judge after that and we don't want to make a decision yet [regarding Shakib’s availability for Kanpur]. These two days, the physio has kept him under observation. When we get back to the ground, we will get the physio's feedback. We have to think before picking Shakib for the next match and there is time before the next match. We will see what condition he is in,” Hannan Sarkar, one of the members of BCB’s selection panel cited.
