“Rana will have an assessment tomorrow (October 11), and only then will we get a clear picture of his injury status,” a member of the selection panel confirmed to Cricbuzz on Saturday.
The fast bowler has also been left out of Bangladesh's squad for the UAE ODI tri-series involving Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. The BCB has opted against risking him while he recovers from his latest setback.
Nahid Rana's Recurring Injuries Raise Possibility of Overseas Consultation
Nahid Rana has endured several setbacks since suffering a grade-two side strain during Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe earlier this year. The injury ruled him out of the tour of Australia, the Asian Games and the ongoing Test series against Afghanistan.
The BCB is considering seeking a second medical opinion abroad if necessary. Officials suspect that a cyst could be present in the affected area, although further assessment is required to establish the cause of the pain. The board is expected to seek an expert opinion within Bangladesh before deciding on further treatment.
