Injury scare for Litton Das ahead of India game

Bangladesh were handed an injury scare ahead of their Super Four clash against India, with skipper Litton Das sustaining a back strain during training at the ICC Academy Ground on September 22.

Litton felt discomfort on the left side of his waist while attempting a square cut in the nets and withdrew from the session after being assessed by team physio Bayzid ul Islam.

"We will have a look at him (Litton) today because from outside he looks quite okay, but we need to conduct a medical assessment before making a final call," a BCB official told Cricbuzz on Tuesday.

Although Litton did not appear to be in severe discomfort after the incident, his availability is still uncertain. Bangladesh haven't appointed a vice captain for the tournament, but in case Litton remains unavailable for the contest against India, Jaker Ali will lead the side.
