Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been added to the squad for the ongoing Nidahas Trophy 2018. According to reports, Bangladesh Cricket Board said that he will join the team in Colombo today. Tigers still have a chance to make the final despite their loss to India on Thursday (Mar 14).
A BCB media release added that Shakib has recovered from the injury which ruled him out of the recent Test and T20I series at home. He was initially included in the squad for the Nidahas Trophy but after an assessment of his injury, it was decided that it would be best to not include the left-hander in the T20I tri-series.
Shakib will join the squad this afternoon at Colombo. However, It is not yet clear that whether he is fit enough to play competitive match.
On Mar 12, BCB physio Dr. Debashish Chowdhury had suggested that Shakib was making positive recovery form the injury. He informed that anti-inflammatory injection was administered to Shakib and the medicine takes effect slowly. The all-rounder could get back to sporting activities within 7 to 10 days.
