Shakib is currently the number one all rounder in One Day cricket and second-best allrounder in T20 and Test cricket.

“So far the CPL has been going really well. I hope that it will only get better and better, hopefully, a lot of runs and a lot of sixes and a lot of wickets so the crowd enjoys it.

“In the home matches the crowds have been terrific, so hopefully it will be the same in all of the other venues that we play.”

He was the first Bangladeshi to play county cricket for Worcestershire in England in 2010. He was also signed by Uthura Rudras for the 2012 Sri Lanka Premier League
