Cricket: Mushfiqur Bangladesh Blow, NZ Eye Rankings Rise

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jan, 2017 ) - Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim is unlikely to play in the second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch on Friday, denting the tourists' hopes of avoiding defeat in the two-Test series.
New Zealand will overtake Pakistan and move to fifth in the world Test team rankings should they complete a 2-0 Test sweep following their dramatic victory earlier this week in Wellington's first Test.
Mushfiqur was concussed after being hit on the head by a short-pitched delivery and rushed to hospital on Monday, but Bangladesh officials said Wednesday it was a hairline thumb fracture that would keep him sidelined.
