Sylhet, Bangladesh - Bangladesh cricket opener Shadman Islam was carried off the field on a stretcher after injuring his left ankle while fielding in the second Test against West Indies. The incident occurred on the second day of play when Islam pursued a delivery from Amir Jangoo, which was directed towards the fine-leg boundary.
Islam, who was positioned at slip, slipped while attempting to collect the ball, leading to a twisted ankle. The 31-year-old remained on the ground for several minutes before being taken to the hospital for an MRI scan. The extent of his injury and whether he will continue playing in the Test remain uncertain. Meanwhile, Hasan Mahmud's impressive bowling performance helped Bangladesh regain control of the match, taking five wickets, including a stumping off Mahmud himself.
