After coming back to Dhaka from the Asia Cup to remove pus from his injured finger, Shakib Al Hasan has now been ruled out of the action for at least three months due to a infection caused in his injured little finger. The star Bangladesh all-rounder now has to wait for another long three weeks to undergo a surgery on the finger.
According to a report in Cricbuzz, the pus extended up to his left wrist was only spotted in Dhaka on Thursday, which in turn hindered predetermined proceedings.

"The moment I arrived in the hospital, the doctors told me that I have to get the pus out as soon as possible," Shakib said to Prothom Alo on Saturday (September 29). "Any delay would put me in great danger as the infection spread till my wrist. If I had waited another few days, my wrist would have become disabled. I feel better after they took out the pus, but the problem is until the infection isn't gone, there isn't going to be a surgery on my injured finger. It will take another 2-3 weeks to fix. After surgery I will need eight weeks, which means I am out for three months," he added.
The unbearable pain and the swelling in his finger during the Asia Cup 2018 forced Shakib to withdraw from the tournament.
