Chief selector Gasji Ashraf Hossain Lipu while explaining Shakib's inclusion in the team said that although Shakib is a political personality, only talent has been considered. The chief selector made this comment in response to a question about Shakib in a press conference on Monday (August 12).
"Of course we are worried about the current situation. We have to ensure his safety. Shakib Al Hasan is a top player of Bangladesh. In terms of selection we thought, since he is a political figure. Basically, considering his talent, he has been taken into the team.
The board announced the squad for the two-Test series against Pakistan yesterday evening. Mushfiqur Rahim and Taskin Ahmed returned to the team. Taskin has been picked up for the second Test. Batter Shahadat Hossain Dipu is out.
Shakib was busy in the Global T20 League in Canada when the country was rocking with the anti-discrimination movement of students. His no-objection letter was filed till August 12. Then there was a question whether to come to the country or go directly to Pakistan.
However, due to the situation, there was no practice in the country, so the team is going to Pakistan earlier today. The question of Shakib also coming to the country stopped. Meanwhile, Lipu said that Shakib will join the team before August 15.
The chief selector said, "There is contact with Shakib, there was contact. It happened last month and this month too. The process is to find out if there are any players outside the country. Besides, I have spoken with Shariful.
"There was a process in that light that on the 14th or 15th he (Shakib) will join the Pakistan team which is looking at the logistics," added Lipu.
