Injury scare for Litton Das ahead of India game

Bangladesh were handed an injury scare ahead of their Super Four clash against India, with skipper Litton Das sustaining a back strain during training at the ICC Academy Ground on Monday, reports Cricbuzz.

Litton felt discomfort on the left side of his waist while attempting a square cut in the nets and withdrew from the session after being assessed by team physio Bayzid ul Islam.

"We will have a look at him today (Tuesday) because from outside he looks quite okay, but we need to conduct a medical assessment before making a final call," a BCB official said on Tuesday.

Although Litton did not appear to be in severe discomfort after the incident, his unavailability would be a major blow for Bangladesh.

It also remains unclear who would lead the side in his absence, as the BCB has not named a deputy for the tournament. Bangladesh began their Super Four campaign with a comprehensive win over Sri Lanka.
