IND vs BAN, 2nd Test: PM Hasina Checks On Liton, Nayeem After Helmet Blows

Liton went for a CT scan at a city hospital while Nayeem also had his MRI done after getting hit by Mohammed Shami deliveries

After struggling against the Indian pace attack, the Bangladesh batters face some serious trouble as two of them were hit on the helmet. On the opening day of the pink-ball Test, wicketkeeper Liton Das and Nayeem Hasan picked up knocks on the helmet by Mohammed Shami deliveries. Liton went for a CT scan at a city hospital while Nayeem also had his MRI done. Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam were named their respective concussion substitutes in the game. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was present at the Eden Gardens, personally spoke to the players to know about their condition. She called Liton and Nayeem to her lower tier hospitality box to ask about their condition. Liton was looking good on 15 when a quick Shami delivery thudded on to his helmet. He took off his helmet immediately and took a look as Shami walked up to apologise. The physiotherapist rushed in as per the latest concussion protocols. Liton continued for some time but after umpires, Joel Wilson and Marais Erasmus had a look just before tea, he was seen walking off and later retired hurt. Liton scored a brisk 24 to show some fight after all Bangladesh batsmen succumbed to the might of the Indian pace battery. Nayeem, playing his first match of the two-match series, scored 19 and was hit on the helmet just after tea.
