Nasir set to go under the knife
Fringe national cricketer Nasir Hossain, who suffered a torn ligament in the beginning of April, is set to undergo surgery on June 5 in Sydney and is expected to fly for Australia in the next couple of days, Bangladesh Cricket Board chief physician Debashish Chowdhury informed yesterday.
The cricketer reportedly tore his right knee ligament while playing football after attending a friend's wedding in Sirajganj after the conclusion of the Dhaka Premier League. The all-rounder had earlier suggested that he injured himself during a running session.
"We took an appointment for his surgery in Sydney on June 5 and Nasir is expected to fly for Australia by May 25 or 26. Normally, it takes around six months to recover from this kind of surgery," Debashish told The Daily Star yesterday.
The injury forced the 26-year-old to miss the last three rounds of the Bangladesh Cricket League and he was subsequently left out of the 31-member preliminary squad for the upcoming series against Afghanistan and the tour of West Indies.
Debashish also informed that they have decided to administer an injection to another injured national cricketer, pacer Taskin Ahmed, who is suffering from back pain.
