Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 due to a hamstring injury. The premier all-rounder’s injury comes at a time when his side is struggling to stay in the competition after three consecutive losses in the tournament. Bangladesh made it to the main round after playing the qualifiers but since then has lost their first three games.
Bangladesh lost against Sri Lanka, England and West Indies with Shakib not being able to create much of an impact in the tournament. The Bangladesh all-rounder injured his hamstring while fielding against West Indies and walked out to open the batting. He played on with the injury but could not continue long for his team’s sake.
