Opening batsman Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the one-off Test match against Afghanistan due to lower back pain. The Test starts tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.  

National Team physio said :-

“Tamim has been experiencing lower back pain which has troubled him from time to time. Our treatment and procedures focused on reducing the pain and improving his functional ability but unfortunately, his condition hasn’t improved sufficiently for him to play the Test match.

“He has felt stiffness and pain while batting and fielding in training and has not been able to complete the physical preparation required to play for five days.”
