Ahead of the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, Bangladesh have suffered a big blow as fast-bowler Taskin Ahmed has been ruled out from the opening match to be held on Sunday due to a recurring back pain.

As per a report in Cricbuzz, pacer Shoriful Islam has been called in as back-up for Taskin in the ODI s quad. Taskin, who has picked 22 wickets in 19 ODIs since a return to the Bangladesh set-up last year, was widely expected to lead the hosts' pace bowling attack in the series against India due to his impressive form across all formats.
