Shakib Misses Out UAE Tour For ICC Men's T20 World Cup

DHAKA: Bangladesh will be without the services of their skipper Shakib Al Hasan for the tour of UAE, as they amp up preparations for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Shakib misses out on the 17-member squad due to his ongoing participation in the Caribbean Premier League. In Shakib's absence, Nurul Hasan, who is returning from a finger injury will lead the side.

The squad is mainly made up of players named in the team for the T20 World Cup in October. But in Shakib's absence, Bangladesh have included three of the four reserve players who have been named on standby for Australia. Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain gets a maiden senior call-up. Batter Soumya Sarkar also gets a recall, having last played a T20I in November 2021. Left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam has also been included in the 17-member squad. IANS
