Right-arm pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib will be sidelined for the third match of the three-game ODI series against Sri Lanka due to injury, scheduled for March 18. Gazi Ashraf Hossain, BCB's chief selector, confirmed that they are actively seeking a replacement for Tanzim. The cricketer sustained a hamstring injury during the first ODI in Chattogram but bravely played through the pain in the second ODI, bowling all 10 overs. Unfortunately, his injury worsened during a subsequent net session. Despite his compromised condition, Tanzim managed to secure four wickets in the first two ODIs, including a notable performance of three wickets in the series opener, which Bangladesh won. Tanzim's recent form in the Bangladesh Premier League, where he claimed 11 wickets in nine matches, underscores his value to the team. His absence in the crucial final match, which will determine the series winner as both teams have secured one victory each, poses a significant setback for the Bangladesh squad.
