Rubel Hossain, the Bangladesh fast bowler, has suffered a right shoulder injury while fielding on the third day of the Chittagong Test against Pakistan and will miss the rest of the game. The team management has sent him to Dhaka for an MRI. Rubel will not be available to bat in the second innings in which Bangladesh are tottering at 134 for 3. Bangladesh need another 325 runs to make Pakistan bat again.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board's physician Debashish Chowdhury said the injury did not appear to be serious. "It looks like the injury is not serious but we have to wait for the MRI report to know exactly what has happened to his shoulder," Chowdhury said. "We can only talk about his treatment after the report.
"Initially there was no swelling but after two hours there was some swelling in his right [bowling] shoulder which is not a good sign. The shoulder is not dislocated but what the bowler himself claimed was that it was dislocated first and then relocated. In that case it will take time but again we have to wait for the MRI report."
Rubel had to leave the field on the third day of the Test after he fell while trying to dive to save a boundary.
