Shakib Al Hasan will start training in Bangladesh in September. Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib will resume his training in his alma mater, the BKSP facility at Dhaka‘s district Savar.

But he is eyeing his international comeback after being banned from all formats of cricket since 29th of October after accepting the charges of breaching the anti-corruption code of ICC.
Shakib Al Hasan will be available from October 29, 2020, for Bangladesh
For a decade, he has featured in ICC’s no 1 all-rounder in all three formats of the game. Shakib became the first cricketer to score 600 runs and take 10 wickets in a single World Cup. He achieved the feat in the 2019 World Cup.
“Shakib will come to the BKSP next month where he will have coaches and trainers available. We are functional as the coaches are all residing within the campus, so we can work with him well. Shakib will have everything at his disposal,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Hasan’s mentor Nazmul Abedin as saying.
Shakib Al Hasan will resume playing cricket for Bangladesh on October 29, 2020. Shakib Al Hasan is regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in the world of all time. Promoted to No.3 at the 2019 World Cup, he had a platform to showcase the true extent of his batting skill, and he did so with distinction, accumulating 606 runs at an average of 86.57 while striking at 96.03.
He also picked up 11 wickets at 36.27 with an economy rate of well under 5 and a half. While the campaign eventually turned out to be a modest one for Bangladesh – they finish eighth on the points table with just three wins, Shakib Al Hasan always had an inkling that he’d do well personally.

One of Shakib’s earliest coaches and mentor Abedin is also the cricket advisor at BKSP where he has also worked for several years as the chief coach. He was also Bangladesh Cricket Board’s game development manager for several years before accepting his new role at BKSP.
