Injured Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan was ruled out of the rest of the World Cup on Tuesday, the day after his controversial role in cricket's "timed out" controvery.

Shakib broke his finger while batting in the match which was overshadowed by Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews becoming the first player in the history of international cricket to be timed out following an appeal by the Bangladesh skipper which he refused to withdraw.

"Recovery is estimated at three to four weeks. He will leave for Bangladesh today to begin his rehab," said team physio Bayjedul Islam Khan.
