It is however not clear who Litton is replacing in the squad. It is more likely that he is being treated as a “traveling reserve” in the squad, and will step in if someone else is ruled out.
Chief selector Minhajul Abedin said that they were sending Litton to Pakistan due to a number of injury concerns in the team.
“The Asia Cup squad has a few injury concerns and the team management felt the need for an additional player going into the Super Four. We have received the BCB medical team’s clearance regarding Litton’s health and have decided to send him to Pakistan,” Abedin said.
Bangladesh’s next match is against Pakistan on September 6, followed by the Sri Lanka encounter on September 9 and the last Super Fours game against India on September 15.
