Christchurch: Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim is unlikely to play in the second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch to-night, denting the tourists' hopes of avoiding defeat in the two-Test series.
New Zealand will overtake Pakistan and move to fifth in the world Test team rankings should they complete a 2-0 Test sweep following their dramatic victory earlier this week in Wellington's first Test. Mushfiqur was concussed after being hit on the head by a short-pitched delivery and rushed to hospital on Monday, but Bangladesh officials said it was a hairline thumb fracture that would keep him sidelined.
"His finger injury is worse. The hairline crack that has been found is new. He will need to give more time for this injury," team physiotherapist Dean Conway said. Conway said that the Bangladesh skipper "may need three to four weeks to return."
