A big news has come out during the test match being played between India and Bangladesh in Chennai. A star all-rounder is playing in this match despite being injured. This player is none other than Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib Al Hasan has been a flop with the ball as well as the bat in this match so far. In such a situation, now former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has raised questions on giving Shakib a place in the playing-11 for the first test against India despite his injury.

A big secret was revealed during the Chennai Test

Shakib Al Hasan bowled very few overs in the Chennai Test, which gave rise to many questions. In such a situation, former Indian spin bowler Murali Karthik made a big revelation on air. Murali Karthik revealed that Shakib has told him that he has a problem with the finger with which he spins and the shoulder. Let us tell you, Shakib had an injury in the finger of his left hand during the last ODI World Cup. At the same time, he was also troubled due to a shoulder injury. Due to the finger injury, he was also out of the game for a few months.

Murali Kartik said, 'I went and asked him the reason for not bowling much. So he told me that the finger of his left hand with which he bowls has undergone surgery, it is swollen and there is no movement in it. As a spinner you should feel the finger but he is not feeling anything. Along with this, he also has a problem in his shoulder and in such a situation, especially in Tests, it is difficult to bowl.'

Tamim Iqbal raised questions

Tamim Iqbal said on air on this issue that if Shakib has been selected in the team despite knowing about his injury, then it means that Bangladesh is deliberately playing with one less spinner. He also said that the team management should have known this before the Test match. On the other hand, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief physician Debashish said, 'Shakib had a finger fracture before the World Cup, before this he had an infection due to an injury in another finger a few years ago. However, Shakib has not told about any recent finger or shoulder injury.'

If we talk about Shakib Al Hasan's performance in this match, he bowled only 8 overs in the first innings and did not take a single wicket. At the same time, he was able to contribute only 32 runs in batting. After this, he bowled 13 overs in the second innings and this time too he did not get success. However, he is unbeaten after scoring 5 runs in the second innings.
