Ban vs Pak Test Series- Tamim Iqbal ruled out: Bangladesh opening batter Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Pakistan which gets underway later this month.
The first Test starts at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) in Chattogram on November 26 while the second Test commences at the SBNCS on December 4. According to ESPNcricinfo, Tamim will miss the Test series due to a thumb injury which the opening batter had injured while playing in Everest Premier League in October this year.
“The fracture had almost healed but my thumb remained swollen. So we wanted to have another X-ray, which revealed that there was a fracture,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Tamim as saying.
Ban vs Pak Test Series- Tamim Iqbal ruled out: “Probably there were two, but it didn’t come out in the first scan. The finger has gone back into the split. I can’t move it. The whole process has to start again,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan T20 squad arrived in Dhaka on Saturday for the T20I series starting from November 19.
