Shakib keeps suspense about batting order in Asia Cup opener

BSS, Dhaka :
Bangladesh Captain Shakib Al Hasan kept suspense about their batting line up as they gear up for the first match against Sri Lanka in their opening game in Asia Cup today.

The match will start at 3.30pm (Bangladesh Standard Time).

Two private television channel of Bangladesh-Gazi TV and T Sports will air the match live from Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka.

With Litton being ruled out after failing to recover from his illness, Bangladesh called up Anamul Haque Bijoy as the back-up but it is highly unlikely that he would play the first game straightway as he would get less than 10 hours to take a rest before the first match.

Litton was the most senior opener in absence of former captain Tamim Iqbal, who made himself sidelined from the tournament in a bid to have perfect recovery from the back pain.

Litton was the second cricketer to be ruled out after pacer Ebadot Hossain despite being in the Asia Cup squad.

Pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib had already replaced Ebadot.
