Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud and all-rounder Mahedi Hasan, on Saturday, August 20, have suffered injuries ahead of Asia Cup 2022. While Mahmud had to leave the ground because of an ankle injury, Mahedi hobbled off the park after being hit on the leg.

As far as Mahedi is concerned, he got injured while bowling to Mosaddek Hossain Saikat in the nets. Saikat smashed one down the ground and Mahedi failed to get out of the line of the ball. He left the training ground, after which he applied ice to his leg.
