In pictures: Nahid Rana’s road back to pace

Star Sports Report

Bangladesh pacer spearhead Nahid Rana is steadily rebuilding his bowling rhythm as he works his way back from injury. Now in the ninth week of his rehabilitation, the right-arm pacer resumed bowling last week and has been gradually increasing both his run-up and pace. Under the supervision of pace bowling coach Talha Jubair, Rana trained at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday, taking another important step towards his return. He has been left out of Bangladesh’s Asian Games T20 squad and is currently training exclusively with the white ball. The UAE tri-nation ODI series is being targeted for his competitive comeback as Bangladesh prepare for a demanding international schedule.
