Injury specifics
Nayeem Hasan suffered hamstring injury during Test against Afghanistan
Nayeem sustained the injury while fielding in the one-off Test against Afghanistan.
His foot got stuck on the heavy outfield while diving to save a boundary off Taijul Islam's bowling.
The strain in his right hamstring forced him to play with strapping through the fourth and fifth days of the Test.
While he completed the game without major issues, a subsequent fitness assessment revealed some weakness in the muscle.
