New York [USA], June 2: Bangladesh Cricket Board chief physician Debashis Chowdhury gave an update on left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam's injury saying that he suffered a split injury between the index and middle finger of his left hand while bowling the last over in the warm-up match against India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday. Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran and Other West Indies Cricketers Reflect on Team’s Chances in ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Ahead of Match Against Papua New Guinea (Watch Video).

Shoriful was hit on his bowling hand while attempting to intercept a drive from Hardik Pandya in the final over of the first innings. The physiotherapist for the Bangladeshi squad, Bayjedul Islam Khan, hurried him off the field as soon as he appeared to be in discomfort.

"Shoriful suffered a split injury between the index and middle finger of his left hand while trying to stop a ball in his last over. After initial medical attention, he was taken to Nassau University Medical Centre. The hand surgeon administered six stitches. We will visit him again after two days. We will know then how much time it will take for Shoriful to return," Chowdhury said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. Fan Invades Pitch To Meet Rohit Sharma at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York During IND vs BAN ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Warm-Up Match (Watch Video).
