Tamim scare

Tamim Iqbal's World Twenty20 prospects looked dismal after scans done yesterday revealed a bigger fracture than it was first imagined.
The left-handed batsman hurt his left hand while fielding in the Cyclones of Chittagong match against Dhaka Dynamites in the National Cricket League T20s on Friday and yesterday, he had MRI and CT scans which were not favourable. The fracture was thought to be hairline but now it looks wider and such a fracture usually takes 3-4 weeks to heal.
"It's not too good. I still have pain in the left hand but we'll see it after five days and probably make a decision then," said Tamim who suffered a similar injury against Zimbabwe in the fifth one-dayer on November 5 last year.
The Chittagonian completely missed the Premier League and only played the vital Abahani-Mohammedan match after much debate.
He fully recovered in time for the tri-series that involved India and Sri Lanka earlier this year which was a good five weeks after the last one-day game against Zimbabwe.
After Tamim got injured on Friday, he batted at number four and scored a 24-ball 23 but now it seems the injury could possibly ruin Bangladesh's Caribbean campaign.
But chief selector Rafiqul Alam was optimistic of Tamim's chances, saying it would be healed in a short time.
"I talked to physio Michael Henry and he confirmed that it would be healed in four to five days. There is no report yet on the injury," said Rafiqul
