Bangladesh opening batsman Nazim Uddin pulled out of this month's limited-overs series in Australia on Monday after injuring his finger during a practice match.
"Nazim Uddin has torn one of the tendons on his left ring finger which would require six to eight weeks of immobilization in a splint," the Bangladesh Cricket Board said in a statement.
The injury occurred during pre-match warmups for a practice game against an Australian Institute of Sports team in the northern Australian city of Darwin on Monday.
Junaid Siddique will replace Uddin, the BCB said.
Uddin, 23, has scored 90 runs in seven one-day internationals and was included on the Australian tour after fellow opener Shahriar Nafees opted out to focus on his university studies.
Bangladesh's three-match ODI series begins on Aug. 30 at Darwin. Bangladesh will play five warm-up matches ahead of the series.
