Bangladesh is gearing up for their upcoming Pakistan series with some key players ready to make impact. Despite his busy schedule in franchise cricket, all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will be available for the Tests. Shakib missed the preparatory sessions in Chattogram but is set to join the team either directly from Dubai or after a brief practice session in Dhaka.

“Shakib is available for the Tests,” confirmed Jalal Yunus, BCB’s Head of Cricket Operations.
The team also received positive news regarding pacer Taskin Ahmed. Taskin, who withdrew from the last Test series against Sri Lanka, has shown good progress and is under consideration for the Pakistan tour.

“Taskin had an evaluation yesterday, and he’s being considered for the red-ball squad,” Yunus stated. “The selectors will make the final decision, but he is in contention.”
The board is also hopeful about the recovery of fast bowler Ebadot Hossain. Ebadot, who has been out of action due to a long-term injury, is making steady progress.
