Litton Das ruled out of Asia Cup, replaced by Anamul Haque

Litton Das has been ruled out of Asia Cup 2023 with a viral fever. The disease kept him from making a trip to Sri Lanka with the remainder of the crew, and he has not yet recuperated. He has been supplanted by Anamul Haque in a like-for-like trade of top-request players who can keep wickets.

Anamul, 30, last played an ODI for Bangladesh in December 2022 against India. Altogether, he has addressed Bangladesh in 44 ODIs, in which he has scored 1254 runs at a normal of 30.58, which incorporates five fifties and three centuries. In every one of those matches, he has either opened or come in at No.3. Anamul will act as a back-up guardian for Mushfiqur Rahim and will join the group later on Wednesday.

"He [Anamul] has been in the runs in homegrown cricket and we have kept on observing him in the Bangladesh Tigers program. He was generally in our thought," Minhajul Abedin, Administrator of the public choice board, said.

"Because of Litton's inaccessibility, we really wanted a top-request hitter who could keep wicket and Anamul got approval."

Litton's nonattendance could end up being a major blow for Bangladesh, who are pursuing their most memorable Asia Cup title. The 28-year-old has been Bangladesh's most noteworthy run-getter in ODIs starting from the beginning of 2022 with 878 runs in 25 innings at a normal of 41.80. He has scored seven fifties and 100 years during this period, with a most elevated score of 136 against Afghanistan in February last year.

Bangladesh showed up in Sri Lanka for their Asia Cup crusade on August 27. They are set in bunch B and start up their competition against Sri Lanka on August 31 in Pallekele. They then, at that point, meet Afghanistan on September 3 in Lahore.
