Shakib included in Bangladesh squad for Pakistan Tests

By Redoy K

Bangladesh has named a 16-member squad for their upcoming Test tour of Pakistan, including all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan despite previous concerns about his fitness for red-ball cricket. Mushfiqur Rahim and Taskin Ahmed return to the side, while Shahadat Hossain Dipu is left out. The team, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, will depart for Lahore tomorrow. They will train at Gaddafi Stadium before the first Test begins on August 21, followed by the second on August 30.
