A day after being elected as the Member of Parliament for the first time, Shakib Al Hasan turned up at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur in the city as he gears up for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), starting on January 19, reports BSS.

Shakib, still an all format captain of Bangladesh, earned a landslide victory in Magura-1 constituency to be elected as MP.

But he didn't stay long at Magura after the elections as his first challenge is to prove his fitness after recovering from the finger injury, sustained during the World Cup.

He was ruled out of the home and away series against New Zealand because of this injury.
