Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan indicated that he is in the dark as far as taking part in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, scheduled at UAE from November 06, reports Cricbuzz.

Shakib, who desired to play his last Test at home against South Africa while announcing his retirement from Tests and T20Is during the Kanpur Test against India in September, did not return home to feature against the Proteas due to security reasons.

Shakib, who was accused in a murder case during the unrest that led to the fall of the government while playing the Test series against India, continued playing the series as BCB allowed him to play for the national team until he was proven guilty.

The board had also assured that Shakib wouldn't face any trouble if he were to return to Bangladesh to play against South Africa though later changed their stance to make sure that no untoward incident take places during the Test series as they were skeptical more so after the ICC Women's World Cup was shifted from Bangladesh to UAE.

While Shakib announced his retirement from the shorter and longer format of the game, he was eyeing the Champions Trophy next year to finish his international career.
