Bangladesh’s best fast bowler Taskin Ahmed played his last international Test match in June 2023. However, despite being available for selection in Test cricket, Taskin Ahmed was not included in the playing XI because he was finding it very difficult to bowl consistently. He was seen playing consistently in white ball cricket but he had to distance himself from Test cricket due to a shoulder injury.

Now Bangladesh has to play a Test series against Pakistan in their home. Recently, the Bangladesh team practiced hard for the upcoming series and everyone’s eyes were on Taskin Ahmed’s fitness. After the first day’s session, Bangladesh Cricket Board physio Bayjedul Islam Khan has confirmed that Taskin Ahmed can recover from his injury, he just has to focus on his workout and follow the rehabilitation program. He also said that Taskin Ahmed is now better than before and he is available for selection against Pakistan.

According to The Daily Star, Bayjedul Islam Khan said, ‘Taskin Ahmed has recently played the T20 format and he has not bowled long bowling spells during this period. He had a problem in his shoulder which he showed to the physio during the T20 World Cup as well. The problem is that the problem he had at that time is the same now as well and it should not be taken lightly.

However, a player can play with all these injuries. If Taskin Ahmed continues his rehabilitation like this and does workouts well, then he can survive. Considering all this, Taskin Ahmed is fully available. But if we talk about bowling workload in Tests, then the bowler has to bowl long spells and for that he also needs speed. That is why he also needs to try all this and I am hopeful that he can participate in the Test series against Pakistan.

Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17

Let us tell you, the Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17. A two-match Test series will be played between these two teams, which will start from August 21. The first match of this series will be played in Rawalpindi while the second will be hosted in Karachi.

The best thing for Bangladesh is that the team’s experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has also made himself available for the upcoming Test series. With Shakib Al Hasan’s presence, both the team’s batting and bowling lineup will become very strong.
