The star all-rounder sustained the injury on his left index finger while batting during Bangladesh’s three-wicket win over Sri Lanka at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Monday.
An X-ray examination after the game confirmed a fracture, ruling him out of the match against Australia, to be played in Pune on Saturday.“Shakib was struck on his left index finger early in his innings but continued to bat with supportive taping and painkillers,” Bangladesh team physio Bayjedul Islam Khan was quoted as saying by the ICC.
“He underwent an emergency X-ray in Delhi after the game which confirmed the fracture on the left PIP joint. Recovery is estimated at three to four weeks. He will leave for Bangladesh today to begin his rehab.” Anamul Haque Bijoy has been named as Shakib’s replacement in the Bangladesh squad.Anamul has played 45 ODIs for Bangladesh.
