bangladesh vs india
Champions Trophy 2025 is going to start from next month. So far, England is the only team that has announced its squad for this tournament. The last date to announce the team for the Champions Trophy is January 12. In such a situation, all the teams are expected to be announced within the next 2 days. However, there is a cloud of uncertainty looming over Shakib Al Hasan’s participation in next month’s Champions Trophy as the Bangladesh Cricket Board awaits the results of the second Test of his bowling action in Chennai, which is expected to be out in two days. .
Bangladesh will begin their Champions Trophy campaign against India in Dubai on February 20 and all participating nations will have to announce their teams by January 12. Shakib had to undergo a second test in Chennai after the first test of his bowling action at Loughborough University in England came out negative. Let us tell you, the result of that test which came on 15 December 2024, had barred Shakib from bowling left arm spin in domestic or international cricket. Shakib is in the running for a place in Bangladesh’s Champions Trophy squad after captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto and BCB president Farooq Ahmed decided in favor of the all-rounder’s inclusion.
It will be cleared in next 2 days
BCB chief selector Ghazi Ashraf Hussain termed the entire episode as shocking. He said that it was very surprising to hear that Shakib could not pass the bowling action test (at Loughborough). I need to find out whether he has got himself tested again or not. Hussain told ESPNcricinfo that we will have to wait. The board has not given us complete information about Shakib. I think every minute counts. I am sure we can clarify this in a day or two.
Last international match played last year
Shakib played his last international match in the two-match Test series against India last year, in which Bangladesh lost 0-2. There was a coup in Bangladesh during this series and then 37-year-old Shakib, who is an Awami League MP, could not return to Bangladesh and instead preferred to play county cricket in England.
