Shadman Islam stretchered off on day 2 of Sylhet Test
Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam was stretchered off on the morning of the second day of the Test against West Indies at Sylhet Stadium, Sylhet, after apparently twisting his left ankle while chasing a ball on a wet outfield, The Daily Star reported.
The paper described it as an unfortunate slip and said Bangladesh could be a batter short when they came out to bat.
