Shakib Al Hasan has joined the team in India. He joined the Tiger Force in Chennai last Tuesday night. Shakib will join practice today at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium without any rest.
Shakib will play the first Test of the two-match series on Thursday after completing a one-day practice session.
Earlier, the 15-member squad of the Bangladesh team arrived in India on September 15. At that time, Shakib was in England. After the Pakistan series, the Tiger all-rounder went to England for a game in county cricket for Surrey. That’s why Bangladesh completed two days of practice in Chennai without Shakib.
Meanwhile, Shakib has faced visa complications to come to India. Later, he came to India through the United Arab Emirates to try team management.
Captain Nazmul Hossain Shantar is not worried about Shakib even though he did not get much time to practice. The Tigers captain believes that Shakib has been well prepared by playing county cricket in England.
Shakib took 4 wickets for 97 runs in the first innings for Surrey. And in the second innings he took 5 wickets for 96 runs.
But Shakib was slan with the bat. He got out for 12 runs in the first innings and 0 runs in the second innings.
