Dhaka [Bangladesh], April 12: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has released an update regarding the injury status of opening batsman Parvez Hossain Emon, who recently returned from 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.
