DHAKA, Nov 7, 2023 (BSS)--Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the ICC Cricket World Cup after suffering an injury to his left Index finger while batting in the match against Sri Lanka in Delhi yesterday (Monday). "Shakib was struck on his left index finger early in his innings but continued to bat with supportive taping and painkillers. He underwent an emergency X-ray in Delhi after the game which confirmed the fracture on the left PIP joint," national team Physio Bayjedul Islam Khan said. Shakib, the world's number one all-rounder, scored 82 off 65 balls to guide the side to a three-wicket victory over Sri Lanka. But with ICC Champions Trophy at stake, the last match is crucial for them.
