Chairman of the Cricket Operations Committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB),Jalal Younus affirmed on Wednesday (31 July), that Shakib set to play tests against Pakistan.
However, Bangladesh star all-rounder is not a regular face for the national team in Test cricket. He will play in the forthcoming two-match series against Pakistan.
However, the selectors are keeping Shakib in mind.
Jalal Yunus said, "We spoke with Shakib. He is available for the Pakistan series. If he gets no time, he will leave directly from Dubai. Or it has been said him to come to Dhaka and practice for 1-2 days and go with the team. He will be available in the Pakistan series."
Meanwhile, Shakib's lack of response to the nation's recent problems has sparked debate on social media. Shakib was questioned about this even at Canada's Global T20 League by a supporter. Shakib asked him again what contribution he had given to the nation after accusations were made.
