Shakib will play Test series in South Africa: Papon

BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon confirmed that Shakib Al Hasan will play the Test series in South Africa next month. 

He made the remarks after a brief chatting with the all-rounder, following the third and final ODI between Bangladesh and Afghanistan on Monday.

Papon said, “We had a brief chat from a long distance. When Shakib saw me, he said he had some discussion with me and then I said loudly, first you tour South Africa with the team and then we would sit together to discuss your future plan. Shakib then gave a nod and said ok, whatever you want, it will happen.”

Earlier, BCB Cricket Operations chairman Jalal Younus informed that Shakib Al Hasan will sit with the BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon within a couple of days to discuss about his future plan.
