West indies tests

Najmul Hossain Shanto: Bangladesh will be without their captain Najmul Hossain Shanto for the third and final ODI against Afghanistan owing to a groin injury. The three-match series is tied at 1-1 after Bangladesh bounced back with a 68-run win in the second game in Sharjah.

Moreover, Shanto is likely to miss the first Test against West Indies as he will take at least two weeks to recover from the injury. He sustained the injury while fielding in the second game that forced him to leave the field at one point with Mehidy Hasan taking up the responsibility of leading the side.

"Due to a groin injury Najmul is not playing the last game against Afghanistan," BCB chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain told Cricbuzz on Monday.
