Shakib al Hasan’s future with Bangladesh remains uncertain

Shakib al Hasan is yet to play a match for Bangladesh since the conclusion of the IND vs BAN Test series. While he announced his plans to retire from the longest format with a farewell Test at home, it did not happen as he refused to participate in the series against South Africa. BCB president Faruque Ahmed had hinted at the all-rounder’s return just before Champions Trophy 2025. It remains to be seen how Shakib’s white-ball future unfolds, given that he had held back his retirement plans until CT 2025.

When will Shakib al Hasan return?

Shakib al Hasan had earlier expressed hopes of taking part in BAN vs AFG ODIs and had put the onus on the BCB to decide on his participation. He missed the BAN vs SA Test series after failing to return to Bangladesh following the political upheaval and violence. The BCB president said that it was time for Shakib to regroup, adding that the veteran could still continue in ODIs for Bangladesh and that the series against WI might be when he gets to return.
