Due to a hamstring injury, Bangladesh batsman Najmul Hossain Shanto will not play in the Asia Cup in 2023. He will be replaced by seasoned batter Litton Das in the lineup.
The team’s performance in the current tournament hasn’t been great; they dropped their opening match to Sri Lanka. But Shakib Al Hasan and company triumphed over Afghanistan in the second match to advance to the Super Four.
Things for Bangladesh have gotten worse as a result of the qualification process’s numerous injuries and the absence of players like Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Mustafizur Rahman.
In the meanwhile, Najmul Hossain tore his hamstring against Afghanistan in Lahore, where he hit a stunning 104 off 105 to aid his team in a decisive 89-run victory.
Najmul Hossain Shanto is out of #AsiaCup2023 with a hamstring injury. Right move with the World Cup so near. Litton Das is replacing him in the squad.#PAKvBAN
