Litton Das, a great batter for Bangladesh, joined the team before the Asia Cup’s Super Four stage, which is fantastic news for the Bangladeshi team. It’s important to remember that Litton was initially disqualified from the competition’s first rounds due to illness. But on Tuesday, September 5, after getting the go-ahead from the medical experts, he joined up with his teammates.
Litton was brought to the side due to multiple injury concerns that are already present in the camp, according to Minhajul Abedin, the chief selector for Bangladesh, who made the announcement following Litton’s selection. While Mehidy Hasan Miraz experienced finger cramps versus Afghanistan, batter Najmul Hossain Shanto had hamstring difficulties. Mustafizur Rahman also suffered an injury against Sri Lanka and was sidelined for the match against Afghanistan.
Minhajul Abedin was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying, “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.
Bangladesh defeats Afghanistan to advance to the Super Four stage.
Speaking of Bangladesh‘s performances at the 2023 Asia Cup, the team kicked off its campaign by playing Sri Lanka. However, their adversaries’ cunning was what ultimately defeated them. Bangladesh had a terrible start, and Sri Lanka easily won the match.
However, they were able to make apologies when they played Afghanistan in their subsequent match. Bangladesh played outstandingly in the first inning while batting first against Afghanistan. Mehidy Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto each delivered an outstanding century to aid the team in scoring 334 runs.
Additionally, the team showed tenacity throughout the target defense by bundling out Afghanistan for just 245 runs. Bangladesh will aim to produce such achievements in the Super Four rounds of the competition after achieving a victory by 89 runs. Additionally, the team’s batting will become even stronger with Litton Das’ comeback.
