Bangladesh cricket team opener Tamim Iqbal’s Asia Cup campaign was cut short after the left-hander batsman fractured his wrist in the tournament opener against Sri Lanka on Saturday. The opening match of the Asia Cup 2018 was played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

In the second over of the first innings, Iqbal was hit on his left wrist and the 29-year-old immediately signalled towards the physiotherapist before being retired hurt on 2 off 3 balls. Bangladesh opener is expected to be out of action for at least six weeks.

However, after Bangladesh lost its ninth wicket, Iqbal walked out to bat and helped Bangladesh add 32 runs for the final wicket with Mushfiqur Rahim (144), who was also the highest scorer in the match.
