The second match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played from September 27. Both the teams will face each other at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Having won the first match of the series, Team India will be eyeing a clip sweep of Bangladesh. Along with this, the Bangladesh team will be eyeing to end the series with a draw. But the tension of the Bangladeshi team has increased before the important match. The team's veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is in danger of being ruled out of the Kanpur Test.
Shakib Al Hasan increased the tension of the team
Shakib Al Hasan played the Chennai Test with an injury. Shakib injured his left finger during the last ODI World Cup. In the first match of the series too, he suffered a single finger problem. Apart from this, he was also in trouble due to a shoulder injury. In such a situation, Shakib Al Hasan is now under the supervision of doctors before the second Test match. Meanwhile, Bangladesh selector Hannan Sarkar has given a major update regarding Shakib Al Hasan's injury.
The selector gave a big update
Speaking to reporters, selector Hannan Sarkar said, 'Shakib is our best player. When he is in the playing eleven, it becomes easier for us to make team combinations. Shakib showed a lot of confidence in his batting style compared to the way he has batted in the past. He played comfortably and handled the pressure. Yes, he didn't score big, but he is always important for the balance of the team.

Got clearance from physio
He added, 'We always have to think before picking Shakib for the next match and there is time before the next match. We will see in what condition it is. We know his arm pain is being discussed. He was not there before the match and many people tried to explain it in different ways, but before the match we took clearance from the physio that he was 100 per cent fit before including him in the playing eleven. Shakib is a player who can play as a batsman if he cannot bowl. If he feels he can't bat or bowl, that's a different scenario. He will be kept under observation for the next two days. After this we will take feedback from the physio.
A normal performance in the first test
The Chennai Test was nothing special for Shakib Al Hasan. He bowled only 8 overs in the first innings and did not take a single wicket. At the same time, he could contribute only 32 runs in the batting as well. After this he bowled 13 overs in the second innings and this time too he did not get success. Even in the last innings of the match, he could score only 25 runs. In such a situation, his team had to face defeat by 280 runs.
