Bangladesh National Cricket Team captain Litton Das has been struck by a back strain during training at the ICC Academy Ground, putting his participation in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 Super Four matches in doubt. Litton Das sustained the injury during batting drills on September 22.
While attempting a square cut in the nets, Litton felt a sudden twinge on the left side of his waist and had to stop practice immediately. The Bangladesh captain was assessed on the spot by team physio Bayzidul Islam, with chief physician Debashis Chowdhury also attending.
