Bangladesh suffered a blow before their maiden Test match in India when opening batsman Imrul Kayes was ruled out Monday due to injury. "Imrul pulled his thigh muscle while fielding today during the two-day warm-up match against the India A team," said chief selector Minhajul Abedin. "He suffered the same injury in New Zealand, so we thought it appropriate that he did not continue."
Uncapped batsman Mosaddek Hossain has been called in as a replacement.
Imrul will return to the side for next month's tour of Sri Lanka provided he is declared fit.
