Due to a right hamstring injury, Bangladesh all-rounder Mohammed Saifuddin has been ruled out of the 20th Asian Games. "On September 19, Saifuddin reported experiencing pain in his right hamstring while bowling during the practice session. Following a physical examination and MRI, the injury was confirmed,” national team physio Bayjedul Islam Khan said in a statement. "For his recovery, he will need about three weeks of rehabilitation." Shaif Uddin's inability to participate in the Asian Games has been reported to the Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The BCB will name a replacement for the player, subject to approval from the Games authority. Recently, Saifuddin participated in the A series against South Africa, appearing in two one-day matches and one official Test. He last turned out for the Bangladesh national team during their tour to Zimbabwe in July. On September 29, Bangladesh will play in the fourth quarterfinal of the Asian Games.
