Replacement players in Bangladesh Test Squad

Batsman Naeem Islam and left-arm spinner Enamul Haque have been ruled out of the Bangladesh squad due to injury for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka starting next month.

National Team Physio Vibhav Singh said: "Enamul (Haque) complained today morning of left hamstring pain. After assessment it was found he has a grade 1+ hamstring tear. This will see him receiving physiotherapy and rehabilitation for about seven to 10 days.

"Naeem has a grade 2 quadriceps tear of the right leg. He has pain and weakness on testing. He will need to have physiotherapy and rehabilitation for at least two to three weeks."

The National Selection Panel in consultation with Chairman BCB Cricket Operations Committee Enayet Husain Siraj and Bangladesh Team Head Coach Shane Jurgensen decided to name immediate replacements for the two players. Top-order batter Marshall Ayub will come in for Islam while Haque will be replaced by fellow left-arm slow bowler Md. Elias.
