Pakistan all‑rounder Hussain Talat was taken to hospital after suffering a shoulder injury while fielding during the second One‑Day International (ODI) against Bangladesh at the Sher‑e‑Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday, March 13, 2026.
The incident occurred on the second delivery of the sixth over of Bangladesh’s innings when Talat sprinted to stop a ball struck by Bangladesh batsman Litton Das off Mohammad Wasim Jr. in the cover region. In the effort to prevent a boundary, Talat collided with advertising equipment and landed awkwardly on his shoulder, appearing to be in significant discomfort.
Medical staff attended to him on the field, and he was subsequently substituted and stretchered off, before being transported to a medical facility for further examination. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed Talat had sustained a shoulder injury and said the nature and extent of the injury will be determined once doctors complete additional tests.
No further details were immediately available on whether Talat will miss the remainder of the three‑match series or other upcoming fixtures.
