Litton Das Ruled Out of Zimbabwe ODIs; Parvez Hossain Emon Called Up

The Bangladesh board has sent its injured wicketkeeper-batter home for hamstring rehabilitation to protect his fitness ahead of a packed international calendar.

Overview

  • Litton Das failed a fitness test for a hamstring problem and has been withdrawn from the remaining two ODIs to continue rehabilitation in Dhaka.
  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board named left-handed opener Parvez Hossain Emon as Litton’s replacement in the touring squad for the matches in Harare.
  • Bangladesh trail the three-match series 0-1 after the opening defeat and must win the second ODI to keep the series alive.
  • Team physiotherapist Bayjedul Islam Khan said medical staff judged Litton not match-fit and opted for a precautionary withdrawal because of back-to-back ODIs.
  • The absence of an experienced top-order batter and keeper deepens Bangladesh’s selection and workload concerns ahead of upcoming tours to Australia, South Africa and India.
