Batsman Yasir Ali Chowdhury has been ruled out of the ODI and T20 series’ against the West Indies, said Bangladesh Cricket Board on Wednesday.

“Yasir Ali has not been recovering as anticipated from his back injury and could not start his rehab. As he is still restricted in his physical work after nearly two weeks of rest, we can conclude that his injury time will be extended. He will be missing the remaining matches and is therefore out of West Indies series,’’ Bangladesh team physio Bayjedul Islam said in a statement on Wednesday.

Yasir failed to recover from a back injury that he sustained on the first day of the three-day practice match against the Cricket West Indies President’s XI in Antigua on June10.

A subsequent MRI scan revealed Discogenic Back Pain on the Lumbar spine and he was expected to be back in action time for the ODI and T20 international series’.

However, it now appears that the batsman’s return to playing will be delayed.
