On Wednesday, Bangladesh all-rounder batsmen Nasir Hossain will need to undergo an operation for tearing his right knee ligament after allegedly sustaining an injury while playing football. He is expected to be out of cricket for around six months. "Primary assessment showed that he has a badly injured ligament on his right knee. To know more we had sent him for an MRI [yesterday] and it shows he had torn his ligaments and will require an operation," Debashish Chowdhury, BCB's chief physician.
"We are yet to decide whether it will be completed at home or abroad. But as it stands, he will certainly be out of cricket for the next six months," he added. The unexpected turn of events forced the right-handed batsman to miss the chance of staking a strong claim in the national team's set-up by putting up noteworthy performances during the upcoming home series between Bangladesh 'A' and Sri Lanka, where he was looked at as one of the front-runners to lead the side.
All-rounder injury seemed to have been kept in the dark from the national think-tank as they were left wondering as to how Nasir could pick up such a serious injury when there was no cricket and practice scheduled for him. The allegation of sustaining the injury while playing football clearly became a subject of discussion in the cricket arena where it is looked down upon.
