Haque, 22, dislocated his shoulder while fielding at Saxton Oval. He made two scores of 29 opening the batting in the win against Afghanistan and the defeat to Sri Lanka. Bangladesh are currently third in Pool A with five points from four matches and will play England in Adelaide on Monday. Kayes is the second new player to be called up by Bangladesh after Shafiul Islam replaced fast bowler Al-Amin Hossain who was kicked out of the World Cup for breaking a curfew. AFP
