Aminul begins bowling with bandaged hand

While his participation in the Bangladesh’s last game of the Tri-nation T20 tournament is uncertain, young leg-spinner Aminul Islam Biplob on Friday began bowling despite sustaining three stitches in his hand.

Aminul sustained the injury during his debut game against Zimbabwe when he was trying to stop a straight drive of Hamilton Masakadza. He ended the match with 2-18 in his four overs and showed a glimpse of his talent.

The injury looked certainly ruled him out of their next game against Afghanistan but the way he was bowling at the center wicket, Bangladesh appeared to be hopeful about his appearance in the all-important final at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on September 24.

Desperate to find a winning formula, Bangladesh have turned to two debutants for their last two group-stage matches of the T20 tri-series at home: Aminul Islam, a young batsman who bowls a bit of leg-spin.

Aminul had his fair share of success on his T20 debut versus Zimbabwe on Wednesday (September 18) as the teenager picked up a couple of scalps with his leg-spin, including that of Zimbabwe’s skipper Hamilton Masakadza.

However, it also turned out to be a bitter-sweet day for the youngster as he suffered a hand injury and looks set to be ruled out of Bangladesh’s next game against Afghanistan.

But in Bangladesh’s Friday’s practice session Aminul bowled quite a few overs in the middle despite wearing a bandage on his hand.

The absence of Aminul looked to have forced the team management to see how Sabbir Rahman fare as leg spinner as he was also seen bowling in tandem. Taijul Islam who was dropped from Bangladesh’s last game against Zimbabwe was also seen bowling in the net.
