Bangladesh bowler Taskin Ahmed will be missing the remaining fixtures of the Bangladesh Premier League due to the recurrence of a back injury.
"Taskin's back injury is an old one. He informed us that he's feeling the pain after the Chattogram phase. We did an MRI after that and it revealed the injury as an old one," Sylhet franchise physician Joy Saha said on Saturday.
"We can't take a risk with him right now as the Afghanistan series is coming up. We're evaluating all the possibilities to make him ready for that series. If his pain doesn't decrease, we can't play him in the BPL," added the Sunrisers official.
In four matches that Taskin has played, he has scalped a total of five wickets in the competition.
