Shakib at ‘Home of Cricket’ after a Year

On Monday, after more than a year, Bangladesh's ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan returned to the Sher-e - Bangla National Stadium.

For a fitness test ahead of a five-team T20 league starting later this month, he visited the 'Home of Cricket' in the morning, reports UNB.

The one-year ban by Shakib for failing to report corrupt approaches has recently ended. Last Thursday, he returned home and caused outrage by breaking quarantine laws.

The all-rounder said he was delighted to return to competitive cricket. He played his last known cricket back in October 2019 in the Caribbean Premier League.

When the West Indies visit Bangladesh for a full series, Shakib may get a chance to make his return to international cricket early next year.
