Mashrafe worry for Tigers

The Bangladesh team management is in a dilemma with the condition of Mashrafe Bin Mortaza ahead of the two -match Test series.
There is however added woe as left-arm seamer Syed Rasel also complained of an old back pain which he received during the England tour with the Bangladesh A team earlier this year.
Both the pace bowlers were checked by a local doctor who found nothing wrong in initial examination but the scan of Mashrafe was expected to be complete yesterday but Rasel's scan will be completed next Monday.
The decisions of taking them to the doctor was taken not before a lot of'yes-no' as the team management was not sure whether there was any point to have the scan of Mashrafe again within three
months.
"We finally took them to the local orthopaedic doctor who found nothing wrong."''informed team operations manager Shafiqui Haque.
“He suggested that there is no need to scan Mashrafe but the bowler himself was insisting to do that although our physio was also against it. Finally we have decided to do the scan as per Mashrafe's wish while it will not be possible to complete the scan of Rasel before Monday." he added.
Mashrafe was not in the team for the third one-daycr as he was complaining severe back pain and has been demanding a scan to become sure about his condition but team physio Darryl Lifson was not ready to do that.
Since then the Bangladesh vice-captain was gloomy and the situation became difficult for the team management to reach any conclusion especially when the Test series is knocking at the door.
The more important thing is
that the team management wanted to be hundred per cent sure that the leading pace bowler will be available for the series.
And it would be a big problem if the paceman ultimately failed to play at the last moment because Rasel is also not fit.
It was however learnt that the team management kept Rasel only to make sure his of rehabilitation in South Africa and in that case they were confirmed about his unavailability earlier.
At this moment the team thinktank has yet to ask for any replacements but left-arm seamer Sajidul Islam has a good chance to join the team if Mashrafe is finally unable to play the series.
The team has been facing huge problems with their bowling department as left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak will not also be available for the first Test as he will fly to Australia today to be examined by a human movement specialist and join the team on November 19.
