The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief selector Minhazul Abedin Nannu confirmed the news.

Shakib Al Hasan remains doubtful for the rest of the Chattogram Test after suffering the same groin injury again on the secone day.
Shakib was  bowling in his third over on Thursday when he grimaced and felt discomfort in his groin while fielding off his own bowling in the second ball of that over. 
He bowled three more overs but was in clear discomfort before leaving the field with an hours play left. 
As there is no visible improvement of his situation, the southpaw will not bowl today. 
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief selector Minhazul Abedin Nannu confirmed the news. 
"Shakib will be sent for scan at 10 am, then it will be decided whether he will play or not," Nannu said. 
"He (Shakib) won't bowl today. He is still under observation. We will understand his situation better when the scan report comes out," Nannu added.
BCB doctor Debashish Chowdhury mentioned decisions are yet to be taken on his scan since it's Friday today, but there will be a way out soon.
Shakib first suffered groin injury during the 3rd ODI against Windies. He was then under 72-hour observation before returning to practice.
