Bangladesh player Litton Das has been ruled out of the Asia Cup 2023
On Wednesday, as per a statement released by the International Cricket Council, the wicketkeeper and batsman of the Bangladesh cricket team, Litton Das, were ruled out of the 2023 Asia Cup. Das was unable to recover from a viral fever that had prevented him from traveling to Sri Lanka for the opening match of Team Bangladesh in the multi-team tournament.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board has announced 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Anamul Haque Bijoy as his replacement. Bijoy has played 44 one-day internationals for his country, accumulating over 1200 runs.
The Chairman of the National Selection Panel, Minhajul Abedin, said that "Anamul has been in the runs in domestic cricket, and we have continued to monitor him in the Bangladesh Tigers program. He was always in our consideration."
He further said that, "Due to Litton’s unavailability, we needed a top-order batter who could keep wicket, and Anamul got the nod.
