Shakib Al Hasan did not play international series after the India series. Many are expressing concern, the international career of the left-handed all-rounder is over! Although Shakib said, he is going to return to the national team soon!
In the India series, Shakib said that he will say goodbye to Test cricket after playing the Test at home in Mirpur. But he did not get that opportunity due to security concerns. India also said in the series that he will bid farewell to ODI cricket after playing the Champions Trophy in February. It is also not certain whether Shakib will play in the Test, as Shakib was not in the Test squad against the West Indies. Currently staying in UAE to play T-Ten League. Before this, he was not even in the ODI series against Afghanistan. All in all, the question has arisen, is Shakib's chapter in international cricket over?
Abu Dhabi T-Ten Cricket Tournament starts from Thursday. A 'press meet' was organized with the captains of 10 teams on Wednesday. There, a journalist asked the captain of Bengal Tigers Shakib Al Hasan like this, 'Shakib brother, when can I see you in the jersey of the national team?'
Shakib's quick reply was, 'After this tournament.' Shakib's answer suggests that T-Ten will eventually join the team in the Caribbean island.
Test series against West Indies starts on Friday. After the two-match Test series, the three-match ODI series will begin on December 8. Abu Dhabi T-Ten League will end on December 2. As a result, Shakib will have enough time to join the Bangladesh team in the West Indies. Did the left-handed all-rounder give that hint?
Shakib last played ODI in last ODI World Cup against Lankans. He did not play 50-over cricket for almost a year. As Shakib has said he wants to play ODIs till the Champions Trophy, he might be seen against the West Indies. Since the games are played abroad and the Champions Trophy is also outside the country. All in all, there is no danger of creating any security concerns. However, nothing has been announced by BCB about Shakib's game yet.
