Shakib Al Hasan asks BCB to not consider him for Sri Lanka Tests
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has confirmed that the veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will miss the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. BCB's cricket operation chairman Jalal Yunus has stated that the cricketer is not available for the Test series and earlier, he wasn't picked even in the white-ball squads of the tour.
Notably, Shakib has also been struggling with his eye since the World Cup last year and even struggled at the start of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) scoring only four runs from first three innings. However, he has flourished since scoring overall 249 runs in 11 matches. "He (Shakib) wanted a break from the entire series against Sri Lanka as he didn't want to take part in international cricket. I think his eyes are fine at the moment but I feel he wants a break so that he can come back to international cricket fully fit," Yunus said.
