Injury scare for Tigers' openers ahead of Afghan ODI series

All of the three openers of Bangladesh squad for the ensuing ODI series against Afghanistan coincidentally faced injury scare simultaneously during on Thursday's practice session at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the city, reports BSS.
According to team management, there is nothing to be worried about the three openers-captain Tamim Iqbal, Naim Sheikh and Liton Das.
Tamim Iqbal was ruled out of the one-off Test against Afghanistan due to his lower back issue and the same problem arose in Thursday's practice session when he had a fielding exercise session. He stopped his practice immediately and left the ground for dressing room.
Liton Das, however, looked to be in some discomfort after a delivery of a thrower hit on his hand while he was batting. He also left the batting session, walking out of the nets.
Liton was understood be in pain and before leaving the net, he was seen to talk with the physio. Back up opener Naim Sheikh who was recalled to the Bangladesh ODI squad after two years, got hit by a delivery above his knee. He, however, showed no sign of pain and continued batting.
