Shakib Al Hasan has made his comeback as the captain of Bangladesh and will lead his team in the World Cup and Asia Cup. The player was in the news because of his association with a betting company for endorsement. The 35-year-old was given a choice between the endorsement for the betting company or his comeback as the team's captain. Shakib decided to end his deal with the company and continue playing with his national team.
A 17-man army is all set to head for the Asia Cup that will happen in the United Arab Emirates. It will also mark the return of batsman Sabbir Rahman and Mushfiqur Rahim. Even Nurul Hasan is included in the team despite having a fractured finger. He was leading the T20 side in Zimbabwe before getting dismissed from the series.
