Debashish Chowdhury, on the contrary, said that there is no chance for the right-arm pacer to make a comeback.
Meanwhile, Debashish also provided updates on the availability of all-rounder Soumya Sarkar and spinner Taijul Islam. The BCB physician informed that the injured duo of Soumya Sarkar and Taijul Islam are likely to be available before the home series against Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is expected to arrive in May for a five-match T20I series, starting of Bangladesh’s preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
During the recent bilateral series against Sri Lanka, Soumya suffered a knee injury after colliding with an advertising board while attempting to prevent a boundary.
In another incident, Taijul injured his knee while fielding during the first Test of the two-match series. Although Taijul participated in the second Test, he subsequently experienced discomfort in his knee, leading him to undergo rehabilitation.
