Bangladesh cricket captain Shakib Al Hasan recently announced his decision to prioritize the national team over franchise leagues, stating his intent to dedicate his time solely to representing his country.
Shakib disclosed his withdrawal from both the IPL auction and the PSL players’ draft, emphasizing his commitment to focus entirely on national team duties.
Due to a fractured left index finger, Shakib missed the Test series against New Zealand and won’t be part of the white-ball series later this month. Engaged in election campaigning after receiving the Awami League’s nomination, Shakib aims for a return in the Bangladesh Premier League following the general elections.
However, due to a longer-than-expected recovery period of around six weeks, Shakib anticipates joining BPL activities after the elections. His commitment to national duties stands strong, prioritizing recovery and rehabilitation, ensuring his availability for future engagements with the Bangladesh team.
