by “Jaker Ali suffered a concussion while batting in practice yesterday [Sunday]said physiotherapist Bayjedul Islam Khan from Bangladesh. “He has a history of concussions and is still showing symptoms.” Given his previous concussion history, recovery may take some time. Based on the clinical findings, he was excluded from the second test.”
He has also played 19 T20Is and made his debut in the format earlier this year.
This is wicketkeeper-batsman Mahidul’s first call-up to the Bangladesh team. He has played most of his first-class matches for the Dhaka Division and scored all three centuries for the NCL team. He also played a match for Bangladesh A against Pakistan A in August this year.
Earlier, the selectors also called up pace bowler Khaled Ahmed as a replacement for Taskin Ahmed.
