Liton Das injures shoulder in NCL match

Liton Das has injured his right shoulder during Rangpur Division's National Cricket League match against Chittagong Division in Sylhet. He sustained the injury on the first day of the first-class season when he dived awkwardly during Chittagong's first innings an did not bat for Rangpur after that. He returned to Dhaka the following day.

He is likely to be part of Bangladesh's Test squad against England but if the injury is serious, it could put him in doubt for a timely recovery. BCB's chief physician Debashish Chowdhury said they were maintaining conservative treatment on Liton's shoulder and an MRI scan on Wednesday would reveal how long he could be sidelined for.

"For now the treatment is conservative but an MRI scan could reveal if he has hurt his AC joint. If it is just a sprain, we can expect a recovery within a week," Chowdhury said.

Liton has so far played three Tests, nine ODIs and three T20s for Bangladesh.
