Bangladesh has suffered a big setback before the second test match against South Africa. Team’s batsman Jaker Ali is out of the second match due to injury. Mahidul Islam Ankon has been included in the team in his place. It is being told that Jekar was injured during practice at Zahoor Ahmed Chaudhary Stadium in Chattogram on Sunday, October 27.

Talking about his injury, Bangladesh physio Bayazedul Islam Khan said, Zekar Ali suffered the injury while batting in practice yesterday (Sunday). He already has a history of injury and is still showing symptoms. Given his past injury record, his recovery may take some time. He has been ruled out of the second test based on clinical findings.

Let us tell you that the 26-year-old player made his Test debut in the first Test of the series and batted brilliantly and also scored a half-century. Apart from the longest format of the game, Zaker Ali has played a total of 19 T20 matches for Bangladesh and has scored 254 runs so far. Zaker Ali’s exclusion may affect Bangladesh batting, because the way he batted in the debut test was commendable.
