Shakib Joins Team in India

Shakib Al Hasan has joined the Bangladesh team in India for the two-match Test series against India, after leaving the country on September 15. The star cricketer was not with the team initially, as he was expected to travel directly from England to India. Despite his teammates practicing over the past two days, Shakib was absent, leading to questions about when he would join the squad.

However, on the night of September 17, the top cricketer confirmed his arrival with the team, as confirmed by team manager Nafis Iqbal, who is with the team in India.

While his teammates returned home after the Pakistan series, Shakib’s return was delayed due to uncertainties surrounding the political situation in Bangladesh, including the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government and related allegations.

To prepare for the series against India, Shakib flew directly to England from Pakistan. After 13 years, he signed up for county cricket to get ready for the red-ball series. He has been impressive, taking 9 wickets in his first match for Surrey, signaling his readiness to perform well against India. The focus now shifts to how he will perform on the pitch.
