And only two days. After that, the country's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will be released from the ICC ban. He was scheduled to return to cricket with a tour of Sri Lanka after the ban. Since Lanka did not visit, the wait to return increased. This time the day of his return was final. The five-team T20 tournament will start on November 15. One of the world's all-rounders will return to cricket with that tournament.
Shakib's ban will end on October 29. He will return to Bangladesh on November 10 if the ban is lifted. He will then join a competitive cricket tournament. The country's best cricketers will practice with the rest of the BCB cricketers before the main tournament.
BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon told this to the media on Sunday night. Nazmul Hasan informed about the return of Shakib by announcing the schedule of T20 tournament.
The BCB president said, "We want to do a T20. It will be five teams. Hopefully, the tournament will be on November 15. I will give the details in the future. Shakib will leave within 10 days. The last time I talked to him was that he would return to the country on the 10th. It may be earlier. Before the tournament. He will leave in a week or so. Shakib will practice here. Before that, it will be his team. '
However, Shakib had returned to the country on September 2 after spending five months in the United States with his family. He has been practicing at BKSP since September 5. Four coaches, Nazmul Abedin Fahim and Mohammad Salauddin, practiced there for four consecutive weeks. After the Sri Lanka series was postponed, he returned to the United States.
Meanwhile, the BCB president is not thinking of keeping foreign cricketers in the five-team tournament. The president has confidence in the country's cricketers. Since the team is five, several more boys will get the chance. At least 30 boys will come. Who wants to be the sponsor of these teams. We will fix it accordingly. Inshallah the tournament will start from November 15. I don't want to keep foreign cricketers. Not at the moment. Because, all the batsmen are available to bring foreign players in the country. What is the benefit of bringing a batsman? We are not getting any benefit.
