Shakib Al Hasan Confirms Pakistan Test Series Tour Around 20 August

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is on tenterhooks over his availability for the tour of India. Following their series in Pakistan last August, Bangladesh is scheduled to play two Tests and three T20Is from September 19 until October 12.

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has not confirmed his arrival in India to play cricket. He says that he is unable to plan his future cricketing schedule. He cannot afford to plan such a thing given his current life situation. Meanwhile, it’s for him to plan for the next three months when he is going to play cricket. That’s why he confirmed his arrival in Pakistan to play in a series that will take place in August and September.

Shakib Al Hasan Focus on Pakistan Tour

Shakib Al Hasan has doubts over taking part in the India tour. He is expected to make his decision after fulfilling a planned playing stint in Major League Cricket (MLC) 2024 and also at the Global T20 League Canada 2024. On July 1, Shakib Al Hasan left Dhaka for the USA to take part in the MLC. Shakib Al Hasaan stressed that he is keeping his priority on the tour to Pakistan in January. He wants to then take a call on his India tour, depending on how he completes the Pakistan series and navigates through the T20 leagues.

I don’t have many plans. I have two T20 leagues coming up – one is MLC and the other one is the Global T20 League in Canada. After playing these two tournaments, let me see where I stand because obviously, mentally there could be some depression in my life if I don’t know a few things.

The star all-rounder said he liked to plan in the short term, looking forward only as far as a series rather than mapping out long-term goals.

And there is international cricket and a series against Pakistan. I plan until then and not for anything thereafter. Now I can’t afford to plan for 3-4 years, so planning becomes from 3 months until half of that. I will contemplate my future plan in due time. So far I am planning till the Pakistan series.

Bangladesh Team Arrival Date In Pakistan

Bangladesh will arrive here around August 20. Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has confirmed his arrival in Pakistan to play in the series. The first Test is likely to be scheduled for August 25, while the second can take place in early September. The group will visit India, subject to the players’ availability after the Pakistan series and T20 league obligations.

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan’s uncertain availability for the India tour symbolizes that players have to walk when balancing international duties and playing in T20 leagues. Although Shakib’s primary target now is the Pakistan series, a lot will hinge on how he does in those T20 leagues to make an appropriate call concerning the India tour. So, Bangladesh fans and cricket lovers will be keeping an eye on his journey in the coming days.
