Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will be playing the first Test against Sri Lanka, beginning from tomorrow in Chattogram, confirmed Bangladesh Test skipper Mominul Haque during the pre-match press conference today.
Shakib’s involvement was in jeopardy after the star player had tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday following his return from USA. However, Shakib returned negative for Covid-19, much to the relief of the Tigers’ contingent.
