Mohammed Saifuddin Ruled out of T20I Series Against India

Dhaka: All-rounder Mohammed Saifuddin has been ruled out of Bangladesh's upcoming T20I series against India, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said in a release on Thursday. The three-match series starts on November 3 and will be followed by a two-match Test series which starts on November 14.

"Due to a recurring back injury, Saifuddin will be rested from the India tour this year giving him an opportunity to consolidate his recovery over a longer period of time.," Bangladesh physiotherapist Julian Calefato was quoted as saying in the Bangladesh Cricket Board release.

"He now will also have the opportunity to spend more time strengthening his body and his situation will be reviewed by the medical team again in the upcoming weeks for further updates," he said.

The series had been preceded by a players' strike in the Bangladesh camp. IANS
