Jaker likely to keep wickets instead of Litton in India clash

Jaker Ali is likely to keep wickets for Bangladesh instead of skipper Litton Das in their Asia Cup T20 Super Four clash against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
There were speculations about Litton's inclusion as the 30-year-old was sidelined from practice on Monday evening after suffering from a back strain during a batting session. However, he came to the match venue, carrying his kit bag and was seen in jolly mood two hours before the start of the match. He did not participate in any warmup drills and avoided any physical activity. He was also reaching for his back in slight discomfort.
Meanwhile, Jaker was seen warming up with the gloves alongside Nurul Hasan Sohan, inferring that he will likely be Bangladesh's wicketkeeper in the match even if Litton plays.
Bangladesh will face Pakistan at the same venue tomorrow in a bid to reach the tournament's final.
