T20 WC: Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan out due to hamstring injury: Reports
Dubai, Oct 31: Star Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup after failing to recover from a hamstring injury, multiple reports stated on Sunday.
The 34-year-old veteran has been enduring an underwhelming tournament, having failed with the bat and claimed just two wickets so far.
"He couldn't recover from the hamstring injury he suffered against West Indies," 'ESPNcricinfo' reported.
Bangladesh-based website 'bdcrictime' quoted an unnamed team source as saying that Shakib will head to the USA to be with his family.
"Shakib's injury did not heal. He is unlikely to play in the next two matches. Shakib will leave team hotel tomorrow or day after tomorrow's match. He will move to his family in the USA," the source was quoted as saying by the website.
He sustained the injury on Friday when Bangladesh lost to the West Indies by three runs.
Bangladesh are scheduled to play South Africa on November 2, followed by Australia on November 4. Both the matches are scheduled to be held here.
They are currently at the bottom of Group 1, having lost all three of their Super 12 games so far.

ILNA reports former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad killed in strikes
Tehran: Iran’s ILNA News Agency has reported that former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed during the ongoing US and Israeli attacks.
According to ILNA, Ahmadinejad was killed following strikes in Tehran’s Narmak district, including an attack on his residence. The report said he died along with his bodyguards.
News of the deaths of three of Ahmadinejad’s bodyguards was released on February 28, coinciding with the first day of the US and Israeli attacks on Iran.

Ahmadinejad served as Iran’s president from 2005 to 2013. He was widely known internationally for his hardline rhetoric against Israel and for accelerating Iran’s nuclear programme during his tenure. At home, his disputed re-election in 2009 led to the “Green Movement” protests across the country.
In recent years, Ahmadinejad had positioned himself as a populist critic of the current ruling establishment, though he continued to serve as a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, the body currently involved in helping shape temporary leadership arrangements.
