Shakib's recovery will help the Tigers

Shakib Al Hasan's absence in the Asia Cup 2018 final was badly felt. It must have been very frustrating for the ace cricketer to see his team lose the game in the last ball. An infection on Shakib's injured finger has ruled him out of action for at least up to three months. He has to wait for three more weeks before a surgery can be performed. The 31-year-old cricketer is one of the brightest stars of modern day cricket. He is well-known for being at top of the ICC all-rounder rankings for years.

Shakib inspires young people in Bangladesh and across the world. He has proven that through hard work and determination even a boy from a small town can become one of the biggest stars iv cricket. I hope he will recover soon from his injury and return to his kingdom, which is his cricket ground. His presence in the team will strengthen it again.
