Mashrafe to take a break from BPL
Shakib likely to miss large part of BPL due to eyesight problem
Shakib will leave the country for Singapore Sunday for the advance treatment of this particular problem which was first diagnosed during the WC in India. Ace all-rounder Shakib al Hasan is likely to miss a large part of the Bangladesh Premier League due to his eyesight problem. He will leave the country for Singapore Sunday for the advance treatment of this particular problem which was first diagnosed during the World Cup in India. It is not confirmed yet when he will return to the country as it will depend on the treatment procedure.  "He has been struggling with eyesight problem for some time now. I think he has been in touch with the doctors regularly. The doctors only could say in what stage the problem is now," said Rangpur Riders captain Nurul Hasan after his side's five-wicket defeat to Fortune Barishal at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur Saturday. Shakib could not contribute much with the willow for the Riders as he scored just two but with the cherry, he took 2/16 in four overs. "Shakib has always been a vital part of the team," Nurul added. During the 2023 World Cup, Shakib consulted doctors in India twice. Before the BPL, he went to London for treatment but reached Dhaka ahead of Rangpur's first match.
