In the last T20 World Cup held in the West Indies, Tiger all-rounder and former captain of the national team Shakib Al Hasan was seen in the country’s red-green jersey. During the Test series on the tour of India, he suddenly announced that he would not be seen in the shortest format of the Bangladesh team again. Shakib wanted to officially end the Test against the Proteas on home soil in a press conference before the Kanpur Test. However, Mr. Seventy Five could not return home considering the overall situation. Now he has opened up about returning to the team.

There is no certainty whether Shakib will be seen in white clothes again. However, since Shakib did not retire from the ODI format with the white ball, there is speculation about whether Shakib will be seen in the ICC Champions Trophy to be held next year or when Shakib will return to the country’s jersey.

Shakib himself confirmed the matter in response to a journalist’s question the day before the start of the Abu Dhabi T-10 League in Dubai. In response to a question about returning to the national team, Shakib Al Hasan said with a smile, “We will see you after this tournament.” Then he was asked whether he will be seen in the team in the upcoming Champions Trophy? Shakib’s short answer was, “I am fully focused on this tournament now.”

The ICC Champions Trophy will start in February-March. If everything goes well, Shakib will retire from that tournament.

It is worth noting that the Abu Dhabi T-10 League will end on December 2. And the ODI series against the West Indies will start on the 8th in the Bangladesh national team’s schedule. Now it remains to be seen whether Shakib will make the Caribbean nation fly or not.
