Soumya Sarkar, the substitute for injured Liton Das faced a visa complicacy which left his participation in the three-match T20 International series against Afghanistan in limbo.
The three matches are scheduled for October 2, 3 and 5 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
A BCB official said, it may take at least three days to obtain the visa, meaning his participation in the first match is uncertain if not the whole series.
Soumya made a comeback to the national T20 squad after December 2024 following a strong performance in the ongoing NCL T20 tournament that saw him score 63 and 45 with healthy strike rate for Khulna Division.
Liton, the regular skipper of Bangladesh T20 team, suffered a side strain during the Asia Cup, which forced him to miss the match against India and Pakistan.聽
He would return to the country to start his treatment and rehabilitation.
