The squad for the upcoming ICC Men's Champions Trophy for Bangladesh has been announced however it misses a huge name: former captain and veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. The 37-year-old, Shakib, has been part of Bangladesh cricketing team for over a decade, but due to suspension for bowling in ECB-governed competitions, his name has not been included in the squad.
No Shakib Al Hasan In Bangladesh's CT Squad
This decision comes after an independent re-assessment at the Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in Chennai, India, where Shakib's bowling action was deemed illegal. Although he remains eligible to play as a batter, Bangladesh's selectors have opted not to include Shakib Al Hasan in their Champions Trophy squad.
His absence marks a significant void, especially considering his all-round contributions. Along with Shakib, Litton Das and Tamim Iqbal, who recently announced his retirement once again, have also not been named in the squad.
