TE24 Sports Desk:
Bangladesh got this news to appreciate only two days before the main Test against Sri Lanka, beginning Sunday in Chattogram.
Boss selector Minhajul Abedin Nanu said Shakib will join the side in Chattogram very soon. For additional precautionary measure, the star all-rounder was tried threefold and he returned negative in every one of the three tests, Abedin said. “He tried negative for Covid-19 and will join the side exceptionally soon in Chattogram,” Abedin said on Friday. A BCB official said Shakib will join the side for the primary Test today.
While Shakib is in dispute for the main Test currently, lead trainer Russell Domingo said his match wellness should be evaluated since he is out of cricket throughout the previous three weeks. “Coming straight into a Test match, we want to actually take a look at his wellness and survey where he is,” Domingo said yesterday.
“He has recently fallen off Covid, and he hasn’t played a lot of cricket. He’s clearly a major player for us, balances the group. Yet, we really want to perceive how he is tomorrow.
He hasn’t batted or bowled for the last half a month. It is five days of cricket. It is hot. There are a wide range of interesting points.”
According to the Managed Event Environment (MEE) convention for the series, Shakib went through a PCR and a quick antigen test as a pre-imperative for joining the group subsequent to getting back from USA on May 9. The two tests have returned positive outcomes on May 10. He then, at that point, began his recuperating cycle in self segregation at his home. BCB around then managed him out of the principal Test straightway.
Be that as it may, BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon communicated his failure at not getting Shakib again for a Test series. Naming him a player in two-in-one, Papon said Shakib’s nonappearance is generally a major blow for the group.
