Shoriful Islam Out of Second Test Against Pakistan

Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam has been ruled out of the second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi due to a Grade 1 left adductor strain, which he sustained after the first match. Shoriful's injury was confirmed through MRI scans, and he has begun rehabilitation, with recovery expected to take about 10 days. Taskin Ahmed has replaced him in the lineup, marking his return to Test cricket after a year-long absence. Bangladesh leads the series 1-0 following a historic 10-wicket victory in the first Test. The team has an upcoming tour of India starting September 19, where Shoriful's fitness will be crucial for the two-Test series. Bangladesh also has a busy schedule ahead, including home Tests against South Africa and a full tour of the West Indies later this year.
