Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan was ruled out of the ICC World Cup 2023 group stage match against India in Pune on Thursday in a major blow to the Tigers` hopes of defeating the in-form tournament hosts.

Star all-rounder Shakib failed to overcome a thigh injury he suffered during Friday`s eight-wicket loss to New Zealand in Chennai. Now in his fifth World Cup, Shakib scored 40 then completed a return of 1-54 with his left-arm spin before hobbling off the field.
