Bangladesh wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim will miss the remaining two one-day internationals against New Zealand with a hamstring injury.
"We are looking at two weeks, anything before is a bonus," Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha told reporters on Wednesday.
"He's been one of the form batters as well as wicketkeeper in all formats, but injuries are part and parcel of the game."
Rahim's injury cleared the decks for reserve wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan's one-day debut in the second match at Nelson on Thursday.
Beginning on January 3, Bangladesh play three Twenty20 matches in New Zealand followed by Tests at Wellington (January 12-16) and Christchurch (January 20-24).
