Chittogram: Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan may have to wait for the next 24-hour to know the extent of his groin injury which he picked up during the third ODI against West Indies.
Shakib pulled up a groin injury while bowling his fifth over, and left the field after receiving the physio's attention. Soumya Sarkar had to complete his over.
Bangladesh displayed a spirited all-round game to defeat West Indies by 120 runs in the third ODI of the three-match series on Monday at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The 3-0 result at home has lifted Bangladesh to the second position in the ODI Super League points table as they are on 30 points along with England but ahead on net run rate.
"First of all, I need to see how I'll pull up tomorrow. At this point, the groin doesn't look alright but we need to see after 24 hours," Shakib Al Hasan said after the match.
"I think a lot of credit goes to the coaching staff and teammates (for his successful comeback). Their backing and support helped me a lot, especially in the first game. I always knew that I needed some match time. After the first game, I got the confidence that I needed and as the series went on, I got better. Our fast bowlers and spinners complement each other. We have a good ODI bowling setup now. There is a lot of competition for spots and it's been healthy for us," he added.
