Pune, Oct 18: Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is still uncertain of playing in Thursday’s crucial ICC Men’s ODI World Cup match against hosts India and a final call on his availability will be taken only on the morning of the match.
Shakib had suffered a left quad injury during Bangladesh’s match against New Zealand a few days back and the team management is sweating on the availability of their best player for the match against table-toppers India.Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusinghe on Wednesday said that Shakib will play the match only if he is declared 100% fit by the medical staff.
“If he is not ready we will not take the risk of putting him in,” he told the pre-match press conference.
Shakib has claimed 3-30 in the win against Afghanistan and scored a crucial 40 against New Zealand. (PTI)
