Shakib, Mushfiq return to Dhaka
Monday, 11 September 2023
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan and senior player Mushfiqur Rahim returned to Dhaka on Sunday after getting a three-day leave from the team management, reports BSS.
Mushfiqur returned to Dhaka to be with his wife as they are expecting their second baby.
According to Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)'s cricket operations department, Shakib took the leave on personal grounds.
The whole Bangladesh team in fact was given three-day break and the cricketers used this leave to return to the country for a short trip.
Both the cricketers are expected to join the side ahead of the final Super Four match against India on September 15.
Bangladesh's chance to make it to the final looked very slim following their two consecutive defeats at the Super Four. In the first match, they conceded a seven-wicket defeat to Pakistan before tasting a 21-run defeat to Sri Lanka on Saturday.
