Litton joins Bangladesh team in Lahore ahead of Asia Cup Super Fours
Litton Das has joined the Bangladesh side in Lahore ahead of the Asia Cup Super Fours. Litton, who was initially ruled out of the tournament due to illness, linked up with his team-mates on Monday evening after receiving medical clearance.
Bangladesh boss selector Minhajul Abedin said Litton was added to the crew because of various injury worries in the group. Najmul Hossain Shanto grasped his hamstring a couple of times during his 100 years against Afghanistan. Mehidy Hasan Miraz endured finger cramps during his hundred years also and resigned hurt. Prior, Mustafizur Rahman got a niggle in the Sri Lanka game in Pallekele on August 31 and couldn't play against Afghanistan.
"The Asia Cup crew has a couple of injury concerns and the group the board felt the requirement for an extra player going into the Very Four," Abedin said. "We have gotten the BCB clinical group's leeway with respect to Litton's wellbeing and have chosen to send him to Pakistan."
Bangladesh got a spot in the Very Four following the 89-run prevail upon Afghanistan in their last gathering match in Lahore on Sunday.
