Injury Update on Parvez Hossain Emon

On Sunday, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) shared the latest information regarding the injury status of opening batsman Parvez Hossain Emon, who has just returned to Bangladesh after his stint in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

According to National Team Physio Bayjedul Islam Khan, Emon suffered a right shoulder injury while fielding on April 3 during the PSL. He stated, "After evaluating Parvez Hossain Emon, who came back from Pakistan with a right shoulder injury sustained on April 3, it seems that he may need around three weeks for recovery," as noted in the BCB's announcement.

Emon has already started a structured rehabilitation program, which is being overseen by the BCB's medical and coaching teams. He will continue with rehabilitation and functional skill training under their close supervision, added Bayjedul Islam Khan.

He expressed optimism about Emon's recovery in time for the upcoming T20 International series against New Zealand later this month.
