Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam is unlikely to bat in his team's first innings after suffering an ankle injury against West Indies. The incident took place during the second morning of the Sylhet Test when Shadman slipped on dew-laden turf while chasing a ball to fine leg and had to be stretchered off the field.
