Bangladesh pacers Nahid Rana and Taskin Ahmed are set to travel to Australia on July 28 for a medical assessment ahead of the test tour against Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) are keen on monitoring the fitness of the frontline fast bowlers, and the duo will be accompanied by the national team\u2019s physiotherapist Bayjedul Islam.<\/p>\n
Nahid Rana has been ruled out of the Bangladesh squad for the Australia tests due to a left side strain he sustained during the second T20I against Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
However, his travel to Australia primarily focuses on the shinbone issue that has troubled him throughout his career.<\/p>\n
According to the BCB official, Nahid had been managing pains in both his shins for several years, prompting the board to seek expert medical advice from a lower-limb specialist in Australia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u201cNahid Rana, from his early days, has been suffering from shinbone pain in his two legs, and he is playing by managing it. We earlier planned that if we travel to Australia or England, we would assess his shinbone issues by sitting with a lower-limb specialist,\u201d said a BCB official.<\/p>\n He further clarified that the visit was not related to the side strain, which ruled him out of the series.<\/p>\n \u201cAs part of that plan, he is travelling to Australia to sit with a shinbone specialist, but he is not travelling there for side-strain issues because his shinbone pain is a chronic injury,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Taskin Ahmed\u2019s trip to Australia is to focus on his recurring ankle problem. Despite his recent shoulder injury, he has been included in the Bangladesh squad for opener test against Australia, and the BCB needs clarity over his condition.<\/p>\n \u201cTaskin is visiting for the ankle issue that he sustained earlier at different points in his career, and we want to have a third opinion regarding its status,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Bangladesh tour of Australia is set to begin on August 12 at Marrara Stadium, Darwin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bangladesh pacers Nahid Rana and Taskin Ahmed are set to travel to Australia on July 28 for a medical assessment ahead of the test tour against Bangladesh.
