Spinner's Suffering: Naeem Hasan Faces Injury Scare Before Dhaka Test
The Bangladesh camp faces a setback ahead of the Dhaka Test as offspinner Naeem Hasan sustains an injury during practice. On Tuesday, Naeem was struck on the index finger of his right hand while batting indoors at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, resulting in visible blood. He promptly left the net to receive first aid and refrained from further practice. However, the Bangladesh Cricket Board's medical department assures that Naeem's injury is not a cause for concern.
Naeem, who returned to the national team after the Sylhet Test, is anticipated to play as the third spinner in the upcoming Mirpur Test. While the severity of the injury appears to be minor, team management might exercise caution in selecting him for the Dhaka Test if he experiences any discomfort.
Despite not achieving significant wicket figures in Sylhet, Naeem played a crucial role as an offspinner. His performance was particularly noted for creating pressure, allowing left-arm spinner Taijul Islam to take wickets from the opposite end. Taijul acknowledged Naeem's contribution, emphasizing the valuable partnership during the match. Naeem managed to secure three wickets across two innings.
