Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been rested from all types of cricket until April 30 resulting from ‘psychological stress’ and ‘fatigue’. Due to this he has been dominated out of the upcoming collection in opposition to South Africa until April 8. The 34-year-old Shakib, who was not picked by any Indian Premier League franchise, was initially included within the ODI and Test squads for the tour of South Africa. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) determined to present him the required break after Shakib stated that he felt like a ‘traveller’ within the staff after the current Bangladesh collection in opposition to Afghanistan.

Shakib scored 74 runs and took seven wickets in three ODIs and two T20Is in opposition to Afghanistan. BCB’s Cricket Operations President Jalal Yunus informed reporters on Wednesday, “He was mentally tense and exhausted. He informed me that at this level of time he isn’t having fun with any type of cricket. The virtually two-month break means Shakib may also miss the Dhaka Premier League the place he was imagined to symbolize Mohammedan Sporting.

Younis stated, “Shakib is an all-rounder, he’s necessary for us. The World Cup is across the nook, we needed him within the staff for an additional large collection but when the participant does not need to play and is not having fun with it, we need to give him full relaxation in order that he can spend time together with his household,” stated Shakib. BCB president Nazmul Hasan questioned his dedication after he stated on Sunday that he was feeling burdened and never bodily and mentally match to play the collection in opposition to South Africa.
