Bangladesh Bring In Amite Hasan for Mominul Haque Ahead of Sylhet Test

Concussion Replacement: Bangladesh have called up Amite Hasan to replace Mominul Haque for the upcoming second Test against the West Indies in Sylhet. This is the only change to the squad following their eight-wicket defeat in the first Test in Dhaka.

Amite, 25, is one of the most prolific scorers in domestic cricket. He recently struck his third first-class double-century, an unbeaten 201 for Sylhet Division against Khulna Division in an NCL match in Cox's Bazar. He averages 79 in the five NCL matches this season.

Mominul's Injury: Mominul sustained a head injury during the first Test's opening innings when he fell face-first with his helmet on while trying to catch Joshua Bishop at short leg. Under ICC concussion protocols, he must observe a mandatory minimum seven-day break from play.
