Mustafizur Rahman, Bangladesh ka star fast bowler, Pakistan ke khilaaf hone wali T20I series se thumb injury ki wajah se bahar ho gaya hai. Yeh khabar sunke cricket fans ko kaafi bada jhatka laga hai, kyunki Mustafizur – yaani “Fizz” – apni deadly cutters aur unpredictable bowling ke liye mashhoor hai. Unki absence se Bangladesh ko 25 May se shuru ho rahi five-match T20I series mein kaafi struggle karna pad sakta hai.
Scene kuch aisa hua ki training ke time unke thumb mein chot lag gayi, aur ab unhe thoda recovery time chahiye. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) ne confirm kiya hai ki Fizz is poori series ke liye available nahi honge. Unki jagah pace bowler Khaled Ahmed ko team mein bulaya gaya hai, aur ab unke upar zimmedari hai ki woh Mustafizur ki kami ko kuch hattak pura karein.
Yeh injury timing ke hisaab se bhi thodi unfortunate hai, kyunki Mustafizur abhi IPL 2025 mein Delhi Capitals ke liye khel rahe the. Unhone UAE ke khilaaf pehle T20I mein bhi zabardast bowling ki thi – 4 overs mein sirf 17 runs diye aur 2 important wickets liye. Lekin IPL aur international cricket ke tight schedule ke chakkar mein lagta hai unka workload thoda zyada ho gaya tha, jiska nateeja yeh injury ho sakta hai. Waise bhi BCB ne unhe IPL ke liye sirf 18 se 24 May tak NOC diya tha, toh unki availability pe pehle se hi questions uth rahe the.
Pakistan ke khilaaf series ke liye Bangladesh ka squad pehle hi announce ho chuka hai – jisme Litton Das captain hain aur Mahedi Hasan vice-captain. Ab Fizz ke bina bowling attack thoda kamzor lag raha hai. T20Is mein Mustafizur ka record dekhoge toh samajh aayega – 106 matches mein 132 wickets – ek proper world-class bowler. Pakistan ke batsmen, jo waise bhi achhe form mein hain, ab aur zyada confident feel karenge.
Fans social media pe apna dukh jata rahe hain. Ek fan ne X pe likha – “Fizz ke bina toh series jeetna mushkil hai, jaldi recover karo bhai!” Injury ke exact details abhi tak nahi aaye hain, lekin reports keh rahe hain ki yeh thumb injury itni serious hai ki unhe poori series miss karni padegi.
Ab Bangladesh ke paas option hai ki woh apni bench strength pe bharosa karein. Khaled Ahmed ke saath Shoriful Islam aur Hasan Mahmud bhi hain, jo pressure handle karne ki kshamta rakhte hain. Lekin sach kahen toh Mustafizur jaisa experience aur skill set replace karna asaan nahi hota. Aur Pakistan ke grounds pe, jahan bounce aur pace kaafi hota hai, wahan Bangladesh ko apni strategy ko thoda tweak karna padega. Sawal yeh hai – kya yeh naye bowlers Babar Azam aur Mohammad Rizwan jaise players ko rok payenge? Yeh dekhna kaafi interesting hoga.
Mustafizur ke fans aur Bangladesh team ke liye yeh waqt thoda tough hai, lekin cricket mein injuries toh part of the game hain. Ab sabki nazar is baat pe hai ki Fizz kitni jaldi recover karke wapas aate hain, aur kya Bangladesh koi surprise perform kar payega ya nahi.
