After missing Australia tour, fresh injury setback rules Nahid Rana out of West Indies series
The pacer was initially believed to be suffering from weakness in his back and pelvic area, but the board decided to send him overseas for a second opinion.
Bangladesh fast bowler Nahid Rana will miss the upcoming two-Test series against West Indies due to a labrum tear, raising concerns about his participation in the team's November tour of South Africa. Initially believed to have back and pelvic weakness, a second opinion revealed the labrum tear, causing Rana to be excluded from the West Indies squad announced on Friday.
He is expected to miss the entire two-match series. Rana had been rehabilitating from a grade-two side strain sustained during Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe in July, which kept him out of the Australia tour, Asian Games, and the Test against Afghanistan. His most recent setback is a fresh glute injury during his rehabilitation, forcing him to miss the UAE tri-series involving Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.
Bangladesh will host West Indies for a two-Test series starting October 28, followed by a tour of South Africa beginning November 15.
