Anamul Haque suffers shoulder injury in Bangladesh win
Bangladesh opener Anamul Haque has suffered a dislocation of his right shoulder but it was too early to determine how long he would be out of action, the team said on Thursday.

He suffered the injury in the 31st over of Scotland's innings of 318 for eight in their World Cup Pool A clash at Saxton Oval in Nelson.
The 22-year-old dived to stop a ball on the boundary and got to his feet with his right arm hanging limply by his side. He left the field and went to hospital for scans.
"Anamul has been diagnosed with a right AC joint strain, grade three," Bangladesh Cricket Board media manager Rabeed Imam told reporters in Nelson after Bangladesh scored 322 for four to record a six-wicket victory.
"The team management is in consultation with local medical experts on this particular injury and we will decide on the best possible management.
"At the moment we're not able to say how long it might take for him to recover."
A Grade Three injury results in a dislocation of the shoulder joint and typically can take up to three months of rehabilitation if the person does not require surgery.
Haque's absence from the lineup did not prevent Bangladesh from calmly chasing down the total with Tamim Iqbal top-scoring with 95 and Shakib Al Hasan (52 not out) and Sabbir Rahman (42 not out) guiding Mashrafe Mortaza's side home with 11 balls to spare to cap off the perfectly timed run chase.
