However, the discomfort worsened during the DPL, prompting a visit to England to consult an ankle specialist. Fortunately, surgery was ruled out, and he is now undergoing a conservative rehabilitation program.
“I’m currently in rehab. Our national team trainer, physio, and the specialist I saw in England designed a program together. Today was my fifth session, and I’ve started bowling off a short run.” Taskin said to the media on Thursday.
Taskin is gradually increasing his bowling intensity while also focusing on fitness. He has started light bowling under supervision and is progressing well.

Asked about a return, he said, “It’s hard to say exactly when I’ll be back, but our goal is to return by the upcoming series in early June, Inshallah, if everything goes smoothly. I’m happy with how things are going, Alhamdulillah, and there haven’t been any setbacks so far.”
“With injuries, it’s tough to set a specific date. Sometimes rehab timelines shift. But if all goes according to the plan, I hope to play in the Sri Lanka series. If something unexpected happens, the management will decide the next steps. Hopefully, that won’t be necessary, especially since the good news from England was that surgery isn't required and rehab should be enough for recovery” he added.
Bangladesh are scheduled to tour Sri Lanka from June 13 for two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is.
