Bangladesh opener Litton Das flew to Pakistan to join Asia Cup team, if any replacement is needed in the squad, according to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) selector. Litton, who was ruled out of the Asia Cup due to viral fever, has now recovered.
It is learned that Litton left the country on a Qatar Airways flight at 9.15 pm on Monday.
Anamul Haque Bijoy was named as Litton's substitute for the Asia Cup. Bijoy has yet to appear for the Tigers in the tournament.
However, because BCB has already included a replacement for Litton in the Tigers' Asia Cup team, the board is unable to add Litton straight to the squad. Litton will have to be added to the team as a replacement for someone else.
The Tigers have a few injury concerns in the Asia Cup squad.
“There are a few injury concerns in the team [Asia Cup squad]. We need to discuss these injury issues with the team management and find out if any replacement is required," said BCB selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu.
Despite losing against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh now confirmed the Asia Cup Super-Four stage by winning against Afghanistan on Sunday.
