According to the Cricbuzz’s reports, an MRI revealed that the pain is in the same place as his previous one.
"Taskin's back injury is an old one. He informed us that he's feeling the pain after the Chattogram phase. We did an MRI after that and it revealed the injury as an old one," Sylhet franchise physician Joy Saha said on Saturday.
"We can't take a risk with him right now as the Afghanistan series is coming up. We're evaluating all the possibilities to make him ready for that series. If his pain doesn't decrease, we can't play him in the BPL," added the Sunrisers official.
Further, the reports added that the franchise has communicated his injury to Bangladesh Cricket Board’s medical team, in order for the pacer’s recovery.
