Bangladesh’s Shakib al Hasan has gone under an immediate surgery after he returned home as he was ruled out of the Asia Cup due to an injury to his left little-finger.
The 31-year-old all-rounder was forced to go under the doctor’s knife at Dhaka's’ Apollo Hospital on Thursday (Sept 27).
Shakib gave an update on his verified Facebook page.
“When I returned back home from the Asia Cup due to pain and swelling on my injured finger, I hadn’t realised the situation had gotten so bad. Because of this, I had to get admitted to the hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery, to get rid of 70-80 ml of pus,” Shakib wrote.
“Because of all your prayers and well wishes, I have been saved from much greater danger. I will need another surgery very quickly though. Please keep me in your prayers and well wishes so that I can make a full recovery and return to the national team as soon as possible,” the left-arm all-rounder added.
