Shakib Al Hasan will be at the center of the discussion before every series of Bangladesh. Before each series, it is a matter of discussion whether Shakib will play or not. The Bangladesh national cricket team is going to the Caribbean to play a full series next month. There are rumors on the cricket field that Shakib will not play in ODIs even though he will play in Tests and T20s in this series. When Shakib was asked about this at the press conference after the Dhaka Test against Sri Lanka, he jokingly dismissed the matter.
This time when asked about it, the chairman of the operations committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board Jalal Yunus got very angry. Asked if Shakib was in the ODI series against the Caribbean, he angrily told reporters: “I don’t know where you got the news: Shakib won’t play. Shakib said – I am available. ”
Rangana Herath, the spin bowling coach of BCB, is conducting a camp with 32 spinners this time due to the spinner crisis in Dhaka Test. Besides, BCB batting coach Jamie Siddons is working with local level coaches of the country.
In this regard, Jalal Yunus said, ”It was already planned. Herath can’t go to the West Indies for a personal issue. He has to go to Australia; he has to stay there. There is an issue of immigration. He said that he could not go to West Indies and that he would spend some time here. We wanted to use this time. Arranging a spin camp in a very short time. I did it with him. Siddons was also available. From here he will go directly to West Indies via England. The plan was to work with them.”
