Shakib's Champions Trophy chances take a hit
Shakib Al Hasan's inability to bowl will affect his chances of being selected in Bangladesh's squad for the Champions Trophy. A member of BCB's selection panel confirmed that his chances of playing in the tournament are not great if he is playing as a batter alone.
"If he (Shakib Al Hasan) is not bowling chances are slim (to play in the Champions Trophy). "Tamim (Iqbal) is sorted (having announced retirement), and Shakib needs to come after giving his third (bowling reassessment) test and I am in doubt regarding his chances in the tournament," the unknown source told Cricbuzz.

Shakib Al Hasan last played an international match in September 2024 against India in a Test match at Kanpur. Since then, he has missed Bangladesh's ODI series against Afghanistan in the UAE and an away ODI series in West Indies.
