Shakib returns home  Shakib Al Hasan

Allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has returned home early Wednesday from the USA after over months.

A Bangladesh-bound Qatar Airlines flight carrying him from New York landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 2:50 am.

Shakib will undergo a Covid-19 test today (Sept 2) upon his return and move to BKSP to join an individual fitness and training programme if he tests negative. Otherwise, he will go for isolation at home.

He went to the USA in March this year to join his wife who was then expecting a baby. Shakib’s wife, Umme Ahmed Shishir, gave birth to their second daughter in April.

The 33-year-old allrounder has been serving a two-year-long ban, with one year suspended, due to failing to report corrupt approaches made to him.

Shakib Al Hasan represented Bangladesh in 56 Tests, 206 ODIs and 76 T20 Internationals, and amassed 3862, 6323 and 1567 runs respectively. He also hit 14 centuries and 80 half-centuries.
