Digital Desk: The ICC World Cup 2023 event technical committee has approved Bangladesh's plea to bring in Anamul Haque Bijoy as a replacement for Shakib Al Hasan, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to a finger injury.
On November 7th, 2023, Shakib sustained a fracture in his left index finger during a play against Sri Lanka. The injury happened while he was batting in his team's three-wicket win over Sri Lanka at the Arun Jaitley stadium.
Following the game, an X-ray check confirmed the fracture, forcing him out of the forthcoming encounter against Australia on November 11th in Pune.
The physio of the Bangladesh men's team, Bayjedul Islam Khan, stated that the skipper would need three to four weeks to recover and would return home on November 7 to begin his recovery process.
"Shakib received an injury on his left index finger early in his innings but continued to bat with supportive taping and painkillers," the Pakistani cricketer was cited as saying.
"After the game, he had an emergency X-ray in Delhi, which confirmed the fracture on the left PIP joint." The recovery time is predicted to be three to four weeks. He is leaving for Bangladesh today to begin his rehabilitation."
The ICC has officially announced on its website that Anamul has been approved as Shakib's replacement for the last match against Australia.
