Bangladesh were a revelation in the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup Super League where they finished third in the standings with 155 points, the same as England in second but behind on net run-rate.
"Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday named Johnson Charles as a replacement for Litton Das for the remainder of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023," an IPL statement read.
Bangladesh's quick pace bowler Taskin Ahmed is set to miss out on Bangladesh's upcoming ODI series against Ireland which will begin on May 9 at County Cricket Ground, Chelmsford.
Shakib informed Kolkata Knight Riders of this development on Sunday. After the franchise receives approval from the IPL, it will start the process of looking for a replacement. He was bought by KKR for Rs 1.50 crore during the IPL 2023 auction last year
During his match-winning 5/22 in the second T20I against Ireland at Chattogram, Shakib Al Hasan went past New Zealand's Tim Southee to become the bowler with the most T20I wickets
Put in to bat, Litton Das had a lucky reprieve in the fourth over when George Dockrell shelled a catch in the deep off Mark Adair and conceded a six. He followed it up with back-to-back boundaries and never looked back from there
The batter missed out on the ODI series against India in December last year due to a groin injury. Batter Litton Das had led the side to a huge 2-1 series win
