Injured Shakib to miss Bangladesh's Asia Cup final against India

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has returned home from the United Arab Emirates due to injury and will miss Friday's Asia Cup final against India in Dubai, a team official said.

Shakib also missed Wednesday's virtual semi-final against Pakistan after he complained of a fresh pain in an injured finger.


Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 37 runs to move to the final of the Asia Cup for the third time in the last four editions.

"The condition of his finger really turned bad. It got swollen. He was even unable to hold the bat," manager Khaled Mahmud told AFP from Dubai.

"We felt he immediately needs a surgery. He will soon travel to the USA to visit a doctor," he added.

A Bangladesh Cricket Board official confirmed Shakib arrived back in Dhaka at midnight on Wednesday.

Thirty-one-year-old Shakib hurt his left little finger during the one-day international series against Sri Lanka in January and missed the subsequent Test and Twenty20 series.

He returned to the team for the Nidahas Trophy in Sri Lanka in March and has continued playing since then.

He wanted to have a surgery before the Asia Cup for a complete recovery from the injury, but the BCB insisted on him playing in the Asia Cup.

The all-rounder played the team's first four matches of the tournament. He scored 49 runs and picked up seven wickets.

Kim Kardashian just shared a health scare, a seriously heavy revelation that no one saw coming. It all came out in a teaser for her show's new season. She told her family the doctors found a small brain aneurysm and pointed straight to the stress.

In the teaser, Kim lies in an MRI scanner and then later, on the phone to her sister Kourtney, her voice is flat. “There was a little aneurysm,” she says. Kourtney’s wide-eyed, hand-over-heart reaction “Whoa” said everything fans were thinking. And the doctor’s explanation was stark. “They were like, ‘Just stress,’” Kim told her family.
