DHAKA: Bangladesh batsman Yasir Ali has been ruled out of the two-Test series against the West Indies with a back injury, the country’s cricket board said Tuesday.
Yasir picked up the injury on the opening day of a three-day practice match against the Cricket West Indies President’s XI in Antigua on Friday.
A subsequent MRI scan revealed an injury to the lumbar spine, the Bangladesh Cricket Board said in a statement.
“Recovery from such injuries takes about two to three weeks. Therefore, he will not be available for the Test series,” team physio Bayjedul Islam said. The first Test against the West Indies will start in Antigua on Thursday while the second Test begins on June 24 in Saint Lucia.
