Bangladesh batter Soumya Sarkar has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match T20I series against Pakistan due to a back injury. As a result, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who is playing in the PSL representing Lahore Qalandars, has been picked as his replacement. Soumya missed the recently concluded T20I series against UAE as well. As per the team physio, Bayjedul Islam Khan, Sarkar will need at least a couple of weeks to make a complete recovery.

"Following medical evaluation, it has been determined that the injury requires an extended rehabilitation period of approximately 10 to 12 days. This effectively means that he will not be available for next week's three-match series in Pakistan,” Bayjedul said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. 

Notably, Mehidy Hasan had earlier been dropped by Bangladesh selectors from the T20I squad selected for the UAE and Pakistan tour.
