In a significant development, Bangladesh star player Shakib Al Hasan is all set to lead Miami Blaze in the ongoing season of the Max 60 T10 Caribbean League. The franchise took to the social media platform to announce the roping in of Shakib as the new captain of the side.

Shakib To Lead Miami Blaze

"Ready to lead, ready to win. Introducing our captain - Shakib Al Hasan. With fire in his game and steel in his leadership, he is ready to shine," wrote Miami on their official Insta handle.

Notably, Miami Blaze will kickstart their Caribbean T10 league campaign from July 17 when the Blaze take on Boca Raton Trailblazers in George Town. Shakib Al Hasan was recently playing in the Global Super League, where the southpaw represented Dubai Capitals. However, his services ended on July 16 after the Capitals crashed out of the tournament. 

Shakib will be assisted by Sri Lanka's Angelo Perera, who will be his deputy in the upcoming league. 

Shakib Back With The Bang

A lot has unfolded in Shakib's life in the past year as the 38-year-old was accused of corruption, following which a travel ban was imposed on the former Bangladesh captain. Notably, Shakib's last international appearance came against India away from home in 2024, following which he has been out of the country and playing leagues across the globe.

His latest appearance was in the Global Super League, where the all-rounder amassed 72 runs in four innings, including a fifty. Further, Shakib also shone with the ball and took five wickets in four innings, including a four-wicket haul.

Notably, the Caribbean T10 League was scheduled to start on July 16, but the league was pushed back because of technical issues. However, at present, the new schedule forces Miami Blaze to play a match every day, which can be a tough challenge for Shakib.
