Mumbai: It’s been speculated that the Bangladeshi star all-rounder, Shakib-Al-Hasan is likely to miss upcoming Bangladesh tour of India as leading after strike Shakib was part of only one net session during the four-day preparation camp that included two warm-up T20 matches.
”We will announce the T20 team tomorrow [October 29] at noon. We need some more time to announce our Test team. We will announce it two to three days later,” Akram Khan, BCB’s cricket operations chairman, said.
The selectors of BCB were also seen in lengthy discussions with the national head coach Russell Domingo during their final practice game at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. Incidentally, board president Nazmul Hasan called some senior members of the set-up to discuss strategies ahead of the challenging tour to India, but Shakib wasn’t part of the meeting.
BCB’s attention was by an “unlawful” sponsorship deal by Shakib and a telecom company that violates the terms and conditions of his contract. Subsequently, BCB issued a show-cause notice to the national captain.
Last week Bangladesh players held a press conference which had 11 demands to be fulfilled by BCB and till the demands are not met, cricketers decided to not to take part in any cricketing activities.
Thereafter, on Wednesday (October 23), the fight between BCB and the cricketers was resolved after the board agreed to most of the demands put forward by the cricketers.
It’s expected that BCB will announce its T20 and Test squad today. Further updates will be informed soon.
