Bangladesh has announced its team for the first test match against South Africa. Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has also got a place in the team and he will be seen playing his last match. Shakib Al Hasan has got a place in the 15-member team and will play his retirement match in Dhaka. There has not been much change in the team that played against India. Only fast bowler Khalid Ahmed has not got a place.
Shakib Al Hasan recently announced his Test retirement. He wanted to play his last match in his home ground Dhaka. However, there was a murder case against him in Bangladesh and due to this many problems were arising. After this Shakib Al Hasan apologized to the people of Bangladesh. He said that he remained silent during the students’ protest in Bangladesh and for this he apologizes. He asked the people to support him strongly in his last test match. Only then did the matter calm down.
Now he will be seen playing his last test match in Dhaka. Bangladesh has announced the team only for the first match. The team has not been announced for the second Test match to be held in Chattogram. After the Test series, Bangladesh has to participate in a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in UAE. Shakib Al Hasan has not yet taken retirement from ODI and hence he can also be a part of the team.
The first Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa will be played from October 21. This will be the first assignment for interim coach Phil Simmons. Despite the crushing defeat against the Indian team, not much change has been made in the Bangladesh team.
