Shakib Al Hasan is currently playing for Bangaldesh:
This is a highly significant component of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle for 2023 to 2025, and currently, Shakib Al Hasan is playing for Bangladesh in the on-going Test series against Pakistan. All these teams are on a race to gather points so as to secure their places in the World Test Championship Final, which is scheduled for less than a year away. Even though Australia and India are considered as the favourites to play in the 2023 finals, they still have to ensure that they meet the required eligibility criteria mathematically.
The series with Pakistan gives Bangladesh a good opportunity to grab valuable points and rise on the WTC table. Since Shakib is an all-rounder with lots of experience, his presence is very important if we want to make any progress in terms of chances. Both sides fight hard during this series for every point because it can take them to the ultimate goal of reaching this stage.
