Shakib Al Hasan, an outstanding all-rounder, has entered the England series practice session less than two hours after arriving from the USA.
Due to a family issue, he had to miss the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and travel to the USA to join his family. He only participated in one of the five PSL matches that he was scheduled to play.
His relationship with ODI captain Tamim Iqbal became the talk of the town while he was in the US after BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon stated in an interview that their disagreement destroyed the atmosphere in the dressing room.
While Tamim Iqbal has already spoken on the subject and stated that nothing else matters as long as their relationships on the field are normal, Shakib has yet to react.
Tamim did not, however, explicitly deny that he and Shakib had a tense relationship.
“I think the team environment is very good. And see the result-we have been doing well in ODI cricket for the last five/six years. We won most of the series in this period. You can only achieve success when the dressing room environment stays good. I don’t see any difference, everything here is normal,” Tamim said.
Everyone was watching Shakib and Tamim as they entered the practice exercise. However, they were seen talking to each other repeatedly, so everything appeared to be regular between them.
