Saif Hassan ruled out of second India Test

Saif Hassan, the young Bangladesh batsman who was supposed to get his Test cap in the second and final Test of two-match series against India in Kolkata, has been ruled out due to a finger injury, reports UNB.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the news on Wednesday right after Bangladesh’s first practice session at the Eden Gardens where Saif was seen sitting out skill training.

The 21-year-old top order batsman received the blow during his fielding duty in the first Test of the series in Indore.

The Kolkata Test, which is the first day-night Test for both Bangladesh and India, is slated to be played from 22 November. The BCB medical department confirmed that it is unlikely for Saif to get fit before the match, and thus he has been ruled out from the squad.

Before heading to the Kolkata Test, Bangladesh suffered a colossal defeat in Indore as they lost the first game by an innings and 130 runs.
