The Bangladesh Cricket Board on Monday announced pacer Khaled Ahmed and wicketkeeper Irfan Sukkur as replacements for Rejaur Rahman Raja and Jaker Ali Anik for the second of three four-day games against the West Indies A starting at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Ground-2 on Tuesday.

Pacer Raja was ruled out of the tie after he suffered a left hamstring injury in the first game and also had a delayed concussion from a hit on the helmet while batting and had to be substituted.

Meanwhile, Jakir Ali was struck on the helmet during practice today and will not be available for the second match.

Bangladesh A Team physio Muzadded Alpha Sany said: “Raja will be in Dhaka for further concussion assessment and an MRI to determine the extent of his hamstring injury.

'Jaker Ali suffered a blow to the helmet in practice and also showed symptoms of having a delayed concussion. He will be under medical surveillance for at least 48 hours.'
