Bangladesh premier off-spinner Nayeem Hasan will require operation for the fracture that he sustained in the little finger of his right hand during the ongoing Bangabandhu T20 Cup.

Nayeem, who was the 12th man for Beximco Dhaka in the match against Gemcon Khulna, dived to save a ball and picked up an injury to his little finger on his right hand.

Nayeem consulted a specialist on Sunday to determine the further course of action where it was decided that he will need an operation.

‘’ Nayeem will have to do an operation for fracturing my little finger. It will take around 21 days to heal after the operation,’’ said BCB official on Sunday.

Bangladesh team management is expecting Nayeem to be available before the home series against West Indies while it was learnt BCB is looking to complete his operation at the quickest possible time to make sure he is available before the international fixture at home, scheduled from January.
