Tamim Iqbal Tamim Iqbal ruled out of upcoming Test series against Pakistan due to injury
Bangladeshi batsman Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Pakistan due to a thumb injury.
An X-ray report on Sunday revealed that he had a fracture on his left thumb, which he had earlier injured during an Everest Premier League match in Kathmandu last month, reports Espncricinfo.
Tamim completed rehabilitation work on the thumb in the last four weeks, even starting to bat against fast bowling recently at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, the news portal reported.
He was planning to appear for Chattogram Division in the National Cricket League in the fifth round that began today. But the continued swelling and pain prompted a second look, which showed that a fracture remained, the news portal reported.
"The fracture had almost healed but my thumb remained swollen," Tamim was quoted as saying by the newsp portal.
Bangladesh will play three T20 Internationals and two Tests against Pakistan in the upcoming days.
