DHAKA, March 18, 2024 (BSS) - Soumya Sarkar suffered an injury while fielding in the 3rd and final ODI in Chattogram and has been substituted as per the ICC’s concussion replacement rules.

“Soumya fell hard while attempting to save a boundary and also hit the advertisement billboard. His head hit the ground in the process and he felt stiffness in the neck and also complained of a headache and vision difficulties. A SCAT5 assessment was done when he came off. He has also hurt his left knee," national team physio Bayjedul Islam Khan said today.

“We had applied for a concussion replacement and this has been approved.”

Fellow left-hander Tanzid Hasan Tamim is the concussion sub who has replaced Soumya in the playing eleven for the match.

Meanwhile, substitute fielder Jaker Ali Anik had a collision with  Anamul Haque Bijoy as they both went for a catch in the final over of the Sri Lankan innings. He has hurt his neck and is receiving medical treatment.
