Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan assessed his current stance in the game and reflects on his future in cricket

Shakib Al Hasan, a Bangladesh all-rounder, analyzed his current position in the game. In order to extend his career, he believes he will need to spend less time on the field. The former national team captain was forced to withdraw from the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in the middle of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.

He was unable to be selected for the next home tour against Pakistan due to his injury. He assured everyone that he had no plans to leave any of the game’s formats. However, he agrees that such a call may be necessary if the injuries persist.

‘‘It seems that unlike in the past, I cannot be playing non-stop cricket like before at my age – I will discuss this with the coach, physio to find a way. Right now, I am not thinking of cutting down on any format but may be, a decision on those lines have to be taken.’’ Shakib said

‘‘Yes, a number of injuries had bogged me down over the last few years though my hunger for the game still remains the same. The hamstring one is new but I am almost on the road to recovery. We will do a MRI on going back to Bangladesh and then sit down with the management as to when I can get back to competitive cricket.” he added
