Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is unsure of his participation in the tour to India for two Tests and three T20Is between September 19 and October 12. When asked about his retirement plans, the veteran expressed that he has not thought too far ahead with a few assignments in the queue.
The 37-year-old left Dhaka on July 1 for the 2024 Major League Cricket where he’s a part of the Los Angeles Knight Riders. Shakib will be playing the Global T20 in Canada and represent the nation in August for a probable two-match away Test series against Pakistan.
“I don’t have many plans. There are two T20 tournaments in front of me one is MLC and the other one is the Global T20 League in Canada and let me see where I stand after playing these two tournaments because I need to understand how I feel,” said Shakib before leaving for MLC.
When asked about the India series in September and October, the former Bangladesh captain also expressed that he is not interested in planning for a long time at the moment, and prioritizes short-term instead.
“There is international cricket and there is a series against Pakistan and I am planning till that point of time and not planning beyond that. Now I don’t have time to plan for three four years and so planning for three to six months is better and later will think about my next plan and so till now I am planning till the Pakistan series,” he added.
