Sports: In a big boost to Bangladesh's preparations, the star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is all set for the selection for the second Test against India in Kapur starting on September 27. Shakib suffered a minor finger injury during the Chennai Test on September 22 but has been cleared by the medical team for the last match of the two-match series.
Bangladesh's head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe confirmed the availability of Shakib for the Kanpur Test where both teams are likely to depend on their spin attack for success. Chandika revealed that the player has not complained about his injury and there is no concern from the physio ahead of the second match.
"I haven't heard anything officially or any complaints about Shakib," Chadika said. "There is no doubt about that at the moment. I haven't heard from my physio or from anyone. He's still eligible for selection."
Shakib was reportedly doubtful to recover on time for the Kanpur Test but Chandika played down the talks ahead of the match. Bangladesh suffered a huge 280-run defeat in Chennai but are expected to stick with the same playing eleven for the Kanpur match.
