Experienced Bangladesh cricketer Mushfiqur Rahim is missing the first Test against West Indies due to a finger injury sustained during batting practice in the nets yesterday. Although X-rays revealed nothing major, he was left out of the playing XI as his finger did not improve sufficiently by this morning, with Towhid Hridoy replacing him.
National team physiotherapist Bayezidul Islam stated that Mushfiq sustained a contusion injury on his right index finger. It is expected to heal within the next three days, and he should be able to play the second Test starting on November 5 in Sylhet.
