Shakib returns home after treatment in Australia

Bangladesh's Test and T20 captain and world famed all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan returned home on Sunday by a Singapore Airlines flight after a successful treatment of his left little finger injury in a Melbourne Hospital, Australia, reports UNB.

Shakib, who left Dhaka on October 5 with finger injury and returned home at noon after nine days, said his finger infection was almost cured and he expected to play cricket within a month or two, subject to gaining strength in his injured finger.

Surgery will not require in his finger if he does not feel any further pain during playing or after the match as his reports of the medical tests were said to be satisfactory.

Shakib was discharged from a hospital in Melbourne on Friday afternoon after being admitted there for about one week. His finger injury was almost cured within first three days of his admission, but he stayed at the hospital for few more days as per advised of the physicians.
