Bangladesh ODI skipper Mashrafe Mortaza has sustained minor injuries to both his hands after being involved in a road accident in Mirpur but there is no immediate threat to his participation in the three-match home series against India, starting June 18.
The accident took place when Mashrafe was travelling by a cycle rickshaw from his house to the Shere Bangla Stadium for the team's training session. There was a mild collision between his rickshaw and a bus. Mashrafe has now got both hands bandaged but the Bangladesh team management is hopeful that he would recover in time for the series.
"This is unfortunate. We are concerned about his palm," Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurasingha told 'ESPNcricinfo'. "But we will give him maximum chance to recover in time for the ODI series," he added.

Also, World Cup hero Mahmudullah Riyad was ruled out of the upcoming home series against India due to a fracture in left hand index finger that he sustained during a training session. "Mahmudullah hurt the index finger on his left hand while attempting a catch during the training today. X-rays revealed a fracture which usually takes three to four weeks to heal," team physiotherapist Baizidul Islam told reporters in Dhaka.
Bangladesh will play the one-off Test against India at Fatullah from June 10 followed by three-match ODI series, starting June 18. In another separate incident, Bangladesh one-day captain Mahsrafe Mortaza paid the price for travelling in a cycle rickshaw, which grazed against a bus resulting in star pacer sustaining minor injuries to both his hands.
According to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) sources, injury was not too serious for Mortaza, who is not part of the Test squad. He is expected to take the field for the one-day series.
