Incidentally, Shakib’s future in Test cricket has been a topic of discussion in recent months, with the allrounder going back-and-forth on his commitment to red-ball cricket.

Shakib, though, suggested that he was “jaded”, and requested a break from international cricket, which the BCB eventually granted him.
