The 22 year-old Anamul was sent to hospital for scans, and at the post-match press conference the team physiotherapist said that the batsman was diagnosed with a grade three joint strain.
Anamul has so far played in all the Tigers' matches at the event, scoring 29 in each of the games against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, but did not bat in the match against Scotland.
The 28 year-old Imrul will join the squad in Adelaide ahead of their next match, a vital showdown with England. The left-handed batsman has played in 53 ODI's and has a batting average of 26.73, including one century and 10 fifties.
