It will be the second cricketing event in Bangladesh since the end of the lockdown in light of the Covid-19 outbreak. The Bangladesh cricket fraternity is eagerly waiting to see Shakib Al Hasan back in action in the ensuing meet after the completion of his one-year ban.
The BCB earlier hosted a three-team 50-over tournament to set the stage for the cricketers to get back to the game. Along with the national team members, most of the top young cricketers participated in this event.
Earlier, Shakib arrived in Dhaka and had a month-long individual training programme at BKSP behind closed doors in September this year under his mentors Mohammad Salahuddin and Nazmul Abedeen Fahim aiming to play the then scheduled 2nd Test against Sri Lanka in the island nation.

However, the series was postponed for the 2nd time due to the Covid-19 restriction and later Shakib returned back to the USA on October 1 to be with his family.
