ICC ODI WC 2023: Bangladesh Hopes That Captain Shakib Al Hasan Will Be Fit For The Match Against India. Hasan remains in contention for Bangladesh’s next World Cup match against India on October 19 after he suffered a left quadriceps injury in his last match against New Zealand in Chennai.

Shakib got injured while taking runs during the match against New Zealand. He continued batting for some time and bowled his quota of 10 overs but it was clear that he was struggling with pain. He underwent a scan in Chennai immediately after the game but is reportedly pain-free for now.
He Can Play Against India:-
“Shakib is getting better,” Mahmood said. “He is not in any pain. But we will know the full scenario when he comes to the nets tomorrow.
He will also run between the wickets. We hope he can play against India. He also worked on swimming sessions and some overhead exercises.”
Did half the work in the gym today. There will be a scan tomorrow which will give us a clear picture of his situation.
Khalid Mahmood Said Shakib Wants To Play:-
Mahmood said that Shakib wants to play but it is not so easy to involve him.
“Normally these injuries cause a lot of pain,” he said. “Even walking has become difficult. Shakib is absolutely fine. This is giving us hope.”
“Shakib wants to play, so if the situation is that he is 85-90% fit, like he was in the last game after getting injured, then we are also hopeful. But it depends on his 100% fitness.”
