However, the Tamil Nadu all-rounder didn't take part in the first warm-up game and is also unlikely to play in the second practice match against Bangladesh at Cardiff on Tuesday as there is a bit of bruise, which will take time to heal. Shankar on Saturday took some throwdowns batting 'single-handed' during the net session prior to the New Zealand game.
