Bangladesh allow Shakib Al Hasan to skip one Test match, ODI series versus Sri Lanka to play for KKR in IPL
FirstpostBangladesh are expected to travel to Sri Lanka in April and May for a Test series, before playing them again at home in a three-match one-day international series shortly afterwards. Dhaka: Bangladesh have allowed all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan to skip a Test and one-day international series against Sri Lanka to play in the big-bucks Indian Premier League, their cricket board said on Friday. Bangladesh have already granted Shakib leave to skip next month’s forthcoming one-day international and Twenty20 series in New Zealand to be with his expectant wife in the United States. He became player of the series in his comeback one-day international series but could play only part of the Test series due to a thigh injury he picked up during the first Test in Chittagong.
