Shakib’s performance with ball in Rawalpindi Test
Currently, the 37-year-old all-rounder is playing in the first Test of the two-Test series against Pakistan at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The left-arm spinner bagged one wicket from 21 overs and conceded 80 runs. His solitary wicket was of all-rounder Agha Salman.
Shakib to travel to India
Recently, Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, one of the directors of Bangladesh cricket, confirmed that Shakib will also play in the two-Test series against India. After the two-Test series in Pakistan concluding on September 3, Bangladesh will travel to India as the series starts September 19.
“For the India tour, Shakib will surely be there for the Tests. Besides, he hasn't played enough Test matches... while he himself has said he's available. He'll be considered for the T20I leg too, though it also depends on how his body copes with the rigours of the formats, based on which the selectors will decide,” Fahim told The Telegraph. “Nonetheless, he's available for all the coming series, provided he's fit. And it's quite obvious that he fits into the team."
