Here's why Shoriful Islam missed the second Test against Pakistan

Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam was ruled out of the ongoing second Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi due to a groin injury. 

The left-arm quick, who played in the first Test, reported discomfort in his groin area, which was later confirmed to be a Grade 1 left adductor strain following an MRI scan.

The injury has sidelined Shoriful, with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirming his absence in a statement. 

"Bangladesh pacer Shoriful Islam has a groin strain and could not be considered for selection in the second Test against Pakistan which got underway in Rawalpindi today( Saturday). The left-arm pacer had complained of discomfort in the groin area after the first match and subsequent tests confirmed the injury," BCB said in a statement

With Shoriful unavailable, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto had to adjust the team's bowling lineup. 

After winning the toss on Day 2 of the match in Rawalpindi, Shanto confirmed that Taskin Ahmed has been included in the playing eleven as Shoriful's replacement.

Bangladesh currently leads the two-match Test series 1-0 after winning the historic first-Test against Pakistan.
