Head coach Russell Domingo gave this information at the pre-match press conference. In the second ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on December 7, a bouncer from Indian pacer Umran Malik hit Shakib on the shoulder. Then his X-ray was done. Nothing was caught in it. However, the injury has fallen in place of the injury. Since then, Shakib was feeling pain in practice. He was again taken to a hospital in Chittagong today for a scan without reducing the pain.

After returning to the field from the hospital, Shakib batted in the nets for half an hour. Looking at his batting, it seems that the injury is not serious. Regarding the captain, Russell Domingo said, “We are still monitoring him. A decision will be taken this afternoon. I want to make sure he’s okay. He is still suffering a little with his ribs and shoulders. But hopefully, he will feel good playing some balls (in the nets). Let’s see how it goes in the afternoon. ‘

On the other hand, pacer Taskin Ahmed is also recovering from the injury. He has been given some plans for a workload from the team. If he can complete them, he will only be seen in the first Test. However, Domingo said that he is not willing to take any risk with Taskin, ‘I will not take the risk with Taskin in the first Test. He returned after a break and had to take an injection. Bowling for one-and-a-half days in such conditions in Chittagong, may not be good for him. He will be rested for the first match. ‘
