On November 7, Bangladesh’s captain, Shakib Al Hasan, received unfortunate news as he was ruled out of his team’s final World Cup 2023 match against Australia. The all-rounder sustained a fractured finger on his left index finger during batting in Bangladesh’s narrow 3-wicket victory over Sri Lanka at Feroz Shah Kotla on Monday.
Shakib’s absence in the match against Australia, scheduled for November 11 in Pune, is a significant blow to the team. The captain will be heading back to Dhaka while the rest of the squad continues to Pune from Delhi. This injury leaves Bangladesh with a crucial gap to fill in their lineup as they prepare for their final match of the tournament.
