Shakib play 'semifinal'

The 17-run defeat against India in the Nidhas Trophy is a good news for Bangladesh Shibir. Shakib Al Hasan is going to Sri Lanka today to join the team.

Cricket website ESPNcricinfo has revealed that the world's best all-rounder will leave the country on Thursday. He will join the team by the afternoon. It took quite a while, but also suffered a lot of finger injury. Two days earlier, he also practiced batting at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

There was no problem in getting the bat. After getting a green signal, he joins the team. If all is well, Sri Lanka's unofficial 'Semi-finals' can be seen on Friday, the Bangladesh T-Twenty captain may be seen.

Shakib received a finger injury in the final match of the tri-nation series at home ground on 27 January. He was named after the Nidhas Trophy squad but he was kept out of the team at the last moment as he was not completely fit. In his absence, Mahmudullah Riyad was sent to Sri Lanka as captain.

Meanwhile, Shakib came to Australia with treatment from Australia. On the finger is painkiller injection. Finally, the good news is that Shakib got completely recovered.
