Najmul Hossain Shanto Injured During Second ODI Against Sri Lanka, Doubtful for Series Decider
Bangladesh vice-captain Najmul Hossain Shanto suffered an injury while fielding in the second ODI against Sri Lanka at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium. The incident occurred when Shanto dived on the boundary line to stop a ball, injuring his quadriceps in the process.
He was visibly in discomfort and did not return to the field after the injury. According to team sources, this is a recurrence of a previous injury he had earlier this year.
A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official told the Daily Sun, “Shanto has been rested for now and is undergoing ice therapy. He will be under observation for the next 24 hours.”
The medical team will reassess his condition on Sunday before deciding on his availability for the third and final ODI in Kandy.
With the series currently level at 1–1, the last match is a decider. Missing Shanto in such a crucial game would be a significant blow to Bangladesh’s batting lineup.
