Bengal batsman Manoj Tiwary has been ruled out of the first one-dayer against Bangladesh scheduled on Thursday after being advised 3-5 days rest following his shoulder injury.
Manoj, who injured his right shoulder while diving during fielding practice in Dhaka on Tuesday, will have to wait to make his debut for the Indian team.
"Tiwary was sent for MRI scan and X-rays. These results were reviewed by an orthopaedic specialist and he has been advised rest in sling for 3-5 days and to refrain from activity," BCCI said on the injury report send by physio John Gloster from Dhaka.
This means that the Kolkata boy will miss the first ODI at Mirpur and his participation in the second match on Saturday has also been rendered doubtful.
"The overall condition of the shoulder once symptoms have subsided in 5-7 days will be reviewed and reassessed. After this an overall plan and time frame can be fully ascertained," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said in the release.
"Regarding replacement if needed, Dilip Vengsarkar, chairman of Senior Selection Committee, once he reaches Dhaka, will consult the team management and a further decision will be taken," it said.
