According to ESPN Cricinfo, Bangladesh batsman Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the two-Test series against Pakistan due to a finger injury.
Cricinfo reported on Sunday that an X-ray report revealed that Tamim had a fracture in the thumb of his left hand, which he suffered during a franchise T20 match in Kathmandu last month.
"The fracture has almost healed but my thumb is swollen," Tamim said. "So we wanted to do another X-ray, which revealed that there was a fracture.
"There were probably two, but it didn't come in the first scan ... I can't move it. The whole process has to start all over again."
Tamim has been ruled out of this year's T20 World Cup due to a knee injury and lack of playing time.
Bangladesh, who were knocked out in the group stage of the T20 World Cup, will play three T20 matches against Pakistan in Dhaka from Friday.
The first test will be held in Chittagong from November 26 and the second test will be held in Dhaka on December 4.
