Bangladesh fast bowler

Bangladesh fast bowler Mashrafe Bin Mortaza sustained an injury to his right knee while batting for his club Abahani in an Ispahani Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League 2010-11 match at the BKSP on Tuesday.

Mortaza was taken to Apollo Hospital, Dhaka where he was examined by orthopaedic consultant and knee specialist Prof. M Ali.

Following an MRI, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) sports physician Dr Md Manirul Amin informed that the provisional report suggested partial tear of the reconstructed ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) of Mortaza's right knee.

"We will wait for the final report which is due tomorrow (Wednesday) before deciding on the next course of action. We will also consult orthopaedic surgeon Dr David Young in Melbourne," said Dr. Amin.

Dr Young had performed arthroscopic surgery on both knees of Mortaza in August 2009 after Mortaza had injured his right knee during the first Test against the West Indies at St. Vincent in July that year.
