Visa issue puts Soumya's Afghan series participation in doubt
Bangladesh star Soumya Sarkar's participation in the series against Afghanistan is in doubt as he faces UAE visa complications.
Injured Litton Das is expected to be back in the country on October 1. The T20I skipper said in a Facebook status that he will not be able to play the Afghanistan series. Soumya replaced Litton in the T20I squad.

The BCB expected Soumya to get the visa today but it did not come through.
"His visa has not arrived yet. We expected it to arrive today but now it will take time. We can't say if he will play the first game since it depends on the visa," a BCB cricket operations official informed.
The first T20I begins on October 2, followed by the second match on the following day. Soumya now faces a steep challenge to reach Sharjah ahead of the fixtures.
