Nahid Rana’s return delayed by persistent lower back weakness

Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana remains sidelined as persistent weakness in his lower back and pelvic region continues to prevent his return to competitive cricket. Although the bowler is currently free of any active injury—following a prior grade-two side strain—he experiences significant pain whenever he attempts to bowl, casting doubt on his availability for upcoming international fixtures.

Scans conducted on the fast bowler have shown no signs of inflammation or structural injury. Officials suspect the root cause is a lack of strength in his core and pelvic muscles, which has been exacerbated by a long period of limited lower-body exercise. Rana previously struggled with a shin bone issue that hindered his running, followed by the side strain that restricted his ability to undergo rehabilitation for his lower body. His scans haven’t revealed anything that would indicate an injury.”. Hence the suspicion that the pain is due to weakness, the official added that the scans showed no indication of inflammation.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board is now planning to send the bowler abroad for a second medical opinion. While he holds an Australian visa, officials are also exploring options in Singapore and Qatar. Aspetar, a renowned sports medicine facility in Qatar, remains a preferred destination, though current visa accessibility remains a significant hurdle. The board is working to facilitate an initial consultation via video conference to better understand his condition. According to the BCB intends to send Rana abroad for a second opinion but sources close to the development, If the medical unit’s assessment proves correct, the speedster will be out for four to eight weeks to regain his strength.

According to team officials, the recovery process requires a methodical approach to rebuild his strength and gradually increase his workload. The current projection suggests a recovery timeline of four to eight weeks. An official noted that while he can currently run without issue, transitioning back to the high-intensity demands of competitive bowling is a separate challenge that cannot be rushed. It will take some time to build that strength back up. It’s not something that can happen overnight,” a BCB official confirmed to. We then have to consider his workload and how to increase it safely,” he said, the problem is that once we’ve improved his strength.

Selection panel members have emphasized that there is no urgency to force his return before he reaches full fitness. The board aims to ensure a comprehensive recovery to prevent the recurrence of these physical setbacks. Consequently, Rana’s participation in the two-Test series against the West Indies, scheduled to begin on October 28, appears unlikely.

His availability for the subsequent tour of South Africa, which begins on November 15 and includes two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is, also remains uncertain. Officials stressed that they are prioritizing his long-term health over immediate match availability, acknowledging that defining a precise return date is difficult at this stage of his rehabilitation.
