'Shakib won't play ODI in West Indies tour'
Monday, 23 May 2022
Bangladesh won't get the service of Shakib Al Hasan in all format of cricket during their West Indies tour as the allrounder verbally informed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) about his withdrawal from at least one format of cricket, reports BSS.
Shakib is keen to play Test and T20 format but he wants to skip the ODI format in the tour, a high official of the BCB said.
"Verbally he said he doesn't want to play one format during the tour because he needs rest," BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal Younus said in the city on Sunday.
"Again he said he will play Test but we are yet to get anything formally from Shakib. We want him in all format of cricket”.
“Let's see what he said. For the time being, the discussion is off," he added.
Bangladesh, which will leave the country on June 5 for West Indies, will play two Tests, three ODIs and as many T20 Internationals.
