In a significant development for the Bangladesh cricket team, star batter Litton Das has rejoined the squad in preparation for the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023. Initially ruled out of the early stages of the competition due to illness, Litton Das has received medical clearance from the team’s medical staff, allowing him to rejoin his teammates.
Minhajul Abedin, Bangladesh’s chief selector, explained that Litton’s inclusion was prompted by the team’s growing concerns over injuries. During the tournament, several key players have suffered injuries, including batter Najmul Hossain Shanto, who experienced hamstring issues against Afghanistan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who encountered finger cramps, and Mustafizur Rahman, who sustained a niggle against Sri Lanka, rendering him unavailable for the match against Afghanistan.

“The Asia Cup squad has a few injury concerns, and the team management felt the need for an additional player going into the Super Four. We have received the BCB medical team’s clearance regarding Litton’s health and have decided to send him to Pakistan,” stated Minhajul Abedin, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
Bangladesh secured their place in the Super Four stage by defeating Afghanistan. After a challenging start to the tournament with a loss to Sri Lanka, they put forth a commendable performance against Afghanistan. Bangladesh batted first, and stellar centuries by Mehidy Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto helped the team set a formidable target of 334 runs. During the target defense, the team displayed resilience, restricting Afghanistan to just 245 runs and securing a commanding win by 89 runs.With Litton Das’s return, Bangladesh aims to bolster their batting lineup and continue their positive momentum into the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023. This addition will provide added depth and options for the team, allowing them to tackle the challenges that lie ahead in the tournament.
As the Super Four stage approaches, Bangladesh fans will be eager to see how their team performs with Litton Das back in action, hoping for more memorable moments in the tournament.
