Default Bashar may opt for Surgery :(

Is it Trophy jinx again for Bashar?
Staff Correspondent Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar fears of missing the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in India as he might be needed a surgery in injured hand that forced him to skip last six one-day matches.
Bashar was also ruled out of the last edition held in England when he injured his right thumb.
Bashar got an expert opinion from Australia on Saturday that advised him to undergo a surgery to be cured completely, something that put him in two minds as he is adamant to play in the Champions Trophy.
‘I’ve been told by the Australian doctors to undergo surgery but it is almost certain I will miss the Champions Trophy If I accept the suggestion,’ he said on Sunday.
‘I will consult a specialist tomorrow (Monday) at the Apollo Hospitals in Dhaka before making a final decision,’ added the premier national batsman.
Bashar, who had broken his fifth metacarpal while attempting to a catch during the second one-day match against Zimbabwe, had earlier visited Thailand for the treatment. But there was no concrete suggestion for him from the Thai doctors.
He was given both the option of surgery and external treatment and the Bangladesh captain accepted the latter for reasons understood by all.
‘Believe me, I have no pain now. I’ve even started training also. But still I am ready to do surgery if there remains no other option,’ said.
After the Champions Trophy, Bangladesh will play against Zimbabwe in November and then will prepare for World Cup in February-March. A home series against India is due in May.
‘I don’t like to miss the Champions Trophy anyway. But at the same time I cannot take risk, there are many more matches coming for us. It’s really a tense situation for me,’ said the middle-order batsman.

Bashar wants to play in the champions trophy but he doesn't wants to agrivatte the injury anymore and possibly miss the up coming tours and with the World cup just around the corner maybe he should lay off the painkillers and medication and take the surgery.
