Shakib al Hasan won’t be dropped for BAN vs SA Tests

As per the Daily Star Bangladesh, BCB’s cricket operations in-charge Shahriar Nafees told reporters that the chief advisor, law advisor and sports advisor to the interim government had stated that no one will be harassed unfairly in the cases filed against them. He added that the government had made its position clear in relation to Shakib al Hasan, adding that he would only be dropped if he suffered an injury or if there was a selection related issue.

We believe the interim government has made its position very clear. Unless there is an injury problem or a selection-related issue, I personally don’t see any reason as of now why Shakib Al Hasan should not play in Bangladesh in the home series,” Nafees told reporters in Mirpur.
