Saumya Sarkar has been named to the Bangladesh team for the Mirpur test in place of Shakib Al Hasan, who was ruled out due to a groin injury.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the matter in a press release on Tuesday (February 9).
“Soumya Sarkar has been named to the squad to replace the injured off-roader Shakib Al Hasan on the squad for the second test against the West Indies,” the statement said. Shakib is not recovering from an injury sustained in the first round of the ICC World Test Championship against the West Indies in Chittagong. ‘
Soumya last played for the Bangladesh test team in September 2019. The left-arm starter was seen playing in the Chittagong Test against Afghanistan, which is on a tour of Bangladesh. Soumya scored 32 runs in two innings in that game. After that, he did not get a place on the only test team against Zimbabwe.
Bangladesh will face the Caribbean in the second and final round of the series next Thursday. After losing the first game, this game is now against the Tigers to save the series.
