Bangladesh senior batsman Mahmudullah Riyad is doubtful for his side’s opening match of the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League as he is yet to recover from the hamstring injury that he received during the second Test against India in Kolkata.

Mahmudullah, player of Chattogram Challengers, has been undergoing practice with the team for the last one week ahead of the tournament opener against Sylhet Thunder on December 11 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. But he was advised not to take any kind of risk.
