Bangladesh copped a telling blow ahead of the opening match of the two-Test series against Sri Lanka as their frontline spinner Mehidy Hasan was ruled out due to a finger injury. Nayeem Hasan is set to come in as a replacement. It is also understood by Cricbuzz that the chances of Mehidy playing the second Test are slim. Cricbuzz had earlier reported that Mehidy sustained the injury on the day the national selection panel named the 16-member squad.
