Bangladesh all-rounder and captain, Shakib Al Hasan, has suffered an injury just days before the ICC Cricket World Cup is set to kick off on October 5th.
According to media reports, Shakib sustained a minor injury to his thigh while playing football during a practice session.
This unfortunate incident forced him to sit out of the team's first practice match against Sri Lanka.
During the warm-up match, Shakib was absent during the toss, and it was revealed that he was experiencing significant discomfort in his thigh.
Due to this injury, it is now uncertain whether Shakib Al Hasan will be able to participate in the upcoming warm-up match or, more crucially, the opening match of the World Cup against Afghanistan.
His absence in such a high-stakes tournament would undoubtedly be a significant blow to the Bangladesh team.
In another unfortunate development, the New Zealand team also received a major setback ahead of the World Cup.
Their captain, Kane Williamson, has been ruled out of the first match of the tournament against England due to a rib injury.
The New Zealand team management has stated that Williamson is currently in the process of recovering from his injury.
Kane Williamson had previously suffered an injury in the Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this year, and this recurrence is a cause for concern for New Zealand cricket.
Both Shakib Al Hasan and Kane Williamson are crucial players and leaders for their respective teams, and their injuries have raised questions about their availability and fitness for the ICC Cricket World Cup.
