Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been kept away from practice ahead of the India tour on ICC’s instructions, local media reported that the all-rounder is going to be banned for not reporting a corrupt approach. His ban by the International Cricket Council will create problems ahead of the India tour. The India vs Bangladesh series which comprised of three T20 Internationals and two Tests will start November 3.
As per one of the country’s leading Bengali newspaper “Samakal”, “It was on insistence of ICC that Shakib has been kept away from practice by the BCB. That’s the reason he neither featured in the practice games nor did he join the meeting late on Monday evening with the president to discuss pink ball Test.”
