Bangladesh's frontline batsman Mohammad Mahmudullah was on Thursday ruled out of this month's home matches against India after he fractured a finger during practice, officials said.
"Mahmudullah hurt the index finger on his left hand while attempting a catch during training today," team physiotherapist Baizidul Islam told reporters in Dhaka.
"X-rays revealed a fracture, which usually takes three to four weeks to heal."
Middle order batsman Nasir Hossain has been recalled to replace Mahmudullah, who would have featured in a one-off Test in Fatullah, not far from Dhaka, from June 10 and three subsequent one-day internationals in the capital.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh suffered a scare when one-day captain Mashrafe Mortaza was hurt in a road accident while on his way to the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka for practice.
Mortaza was travelling in a cycle-rickshaw which grazed against a bus, leaving the the all-rounder with minor injuries on both hands.
But officials said the injuries were not serious and Mortaza, who is not part of the Test squad, will take the field for the one-day series starting on June 18.
"He has been given medication and requires dressing on a regular basis. We expect him to recover in 7 to 10 days," Baizidul said, according to a Bangladesh Cricket Board statement.
