Taijul suffers injury scare

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Taijul Islam was struck on his left wrist while batting in the nets on Monday evening at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. He was taken for an X-ray immediately after the injured area swelled up. According to team sources, however, Taijul is expected to train on Tuesday morning, and the scan is only deemed "precautionary".

Bangladesh are on their sixth day of training at home, and will leave for Brisbane on January 24 for another two-week training camp. Tamim Iqbal, who had a knee operation in late December, will join the team four days later after another appointment with Dr David Young, the orthopaedic specialist who operated on him, in Melbourne.
