Bangladesh National Cricket Team captain Litton Das was hit by a rear tension during the training at the ICC Academy Ground, so that his participation in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 Super Four matches is questioned. Litton Das sustained the injury during bat exercises on September 22.
As he tried a square cut in the nets, Litton felt a sudden stitch on the left side of his waist and had to stop practicing immediately. The captain of Bangladesh was judged on the spot by Team Physio Bayzidul Islam, with chief doctor Debashis Chowdhury also present.
Litton Das is deprived of Bangladesh’s Back-to-Back Asia Cup 2025 Super Four Games
The treatment was carried out directly on the field, but Litton Das did not continue to hit after the incident. The timing of Litton’s injury relates to Bangladesh, because their schedule in the Super Four phase is extremely tight. They will be confronted with India on 24 September and then the next day Pakistan.

A civil servant of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was quoted on Tuesday (September 23) by Cricbuzz: “We will look at him today (Litton) because he sees very well from outside, but we have to perform a medical assessment before he makes a last phone call.”
However, Litton Das did not seem to have serious pain after the rear tension, but his potential absence would be a major setback for the Tigers. They trust him strongly on him, both as a captain and an important batter, so missing him can influence their chances in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four matches.
Who will lead Bangladesh?
In addition to the uncertainty, the BCB did not mention a vice-captain for the current Asia Cup 2025. It is still unclear who would take over leadership tasks if Litton Das is unable to play.
The Wicketkeeper-Batter has so far collected 119 runs in four games on an average of 29.75 and a success rate of 129.34 in the current continental tournament in the VAE.

In the meantime, Bangladesh won their first Super Four match with four wickets against Sri Lanka, and now they are only one win from obtaining a place in the Asia Cup 2025 final, although the net run rate will play a role in the qualifying scenario.
Bangladesh Spinner Mahedi Hasan warns India of Super Four Clash
While the Tigers are preparing for a crucial Super Four match against India in the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, the star spinner Sheikh Mahedi Hasan sent a warning to Suryakumar Yadav and his team. He made it clear that the tigers are not intimidated by India or the hype around the Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2025.
He emphasized that Bangladesh focuses on their own preparation, the game and any other treatment and hard work on training to tighten both skills and strategy for the big game.
Mahedi said with the nets: “Not after winning a match. From the start we stay normal. As we are, as our body language is – we don’t think about it. We just go outside to play a cricket match. Whether the opponent is India or Australia, that’s not our concern.”
