Liton skips practice for hamstring injury

ADELAIDE, Nov 04 (BSS): Star batter Liton Das skipped Bangladesh practice today at the Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide due to a hamstring injury which he suffered during his side's match against India.

A Bangladesh official said Liton is doing fine and he is highly likely to play the match against Pakistan on Sunday. For a precaution, the team management asked Liton to stay back at the hotel in a bid to take rest.

Liton who played a blazing 27-ball 60, which almost won the game for Bangladesh against India, suffered the injury while taking a single during the eighth over of Bangladesh run chase.

After the game resumed following a rain-break, he was seen struggling with his running and was run out in the next ball of the same over.

Liton's dismissal shifted the momentum towards India as the subcontinent giants sparked a sensational collapse to snatch the match from the jaws of the defeat at Adelaide Oval on Wednesday.
