He is expected to take three to four weeks to recover.” The captain will depart with his colleagues for Bangladesh the following night. Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan began his rehabilitation today after scoring an impressive 82 from 65 balls to lead his team to a three-wicket victory over Sri Lanka. garnering figures of 2/57 with the ball, Shakib was also named Player of the Match.

Mathews was ready to face the ball when his helmet strap broke, and while he waited for a replacement, Shakib appealed to the umpires who eventually ruled the batman timed out.
