Shoriful sustains groin injury

Dhaka, 31 Aug - Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam failed to make the

cut in the series deciding second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi today
due to a groin strain.

The left-arm pacer had complained of discomfort in the groin area after the
first match and subsequent tests confirmed the injury.

"Shoriful underwent an MRI following the first Test and the results show a
Grade 1 left adductor strain," national team physio Bayjedul Islam Khan said.

"Recovery usually takes around 10 days in such cases and he has started his
rehab," he added.

Fellow pacer Taskin Ahmed replaced him as Bangladesh had to break the winning
combination.

Bangladesh are leading the series 1-0 following its historical 10-wicket
victory in the first Test.
