Tamim Iqbal, the Bangladesh opener, has been ruled out of Tuesday's Twenty20 triangular match against South Africa due to a thigh injury he picked up in the tournament's opening game. Anamul Haque, the 19-year-old Khulna batsman, will be his replacement.
"I have injured my quads, it's a grade-one tear. So I'm definitely not playing tomorrow's [Tuesday's] game," Tamim told ESPNcricinfo over phone. "It is still a 50-50 call whether I will play the next game [against Zimbabwe on June 21] because I don't want to aggravate the injury. But I won't be coming back home."
Tamim endured the grade-one tear on his left quadriceps while batting against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club on Sunday, and had a similar injury earlier in the month. He made 38 off 35 balls against Zimbabwe and provided Bangladesh a brisk start with Mohammad Ashraful but it wasn't enough as they ended up losing the game by 11 runs.
