Bangladesh opening batsman Litton Kumer Das has made a complete recovery from a bout of viral fever that had prevented him from traveling with the team to Sri Lanka for the tournament opener and will join the squad in Pakistan ahead of the Super Four matches of the Asia Cup. Bangladesh ensured qualification for the Super Four stages following the 89-run win over Afghanistan in their last group match in Lahore on Sunday.
The National Selection Panel Chairman Minhajul Abedin said: “The Asia Cup squad has a few injury concerns and the team management felt the need for an additional player going into the Super Four. We have received the BCB Medical Team’s clearance regarding Litton’s health and have decided to send him to Pakistan.”
The 28-year-old right-hander will reach Lahore on Tuesday.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is the governing body for cricket in Bangladesh. It joined the ICC in 1977 and became a full member in 2000. The BCB oversees Bangladesh’s men’s, women’s, and under-19 national teams.
