BCB targets Shakib comeback for 2027 World Cup dream
Bangladesh Cricket Board plans Shakib Al Hasan's return ahead of Pakistan series with an eye on the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan could be back in international action as early as the home series against Pakistan, with the Bangladesh Cricket Board actively shaping a comeback plan. The three-match ODI series is scheduled for March 12, 14 and 16, and the Test leg is expected to follow in May after adjustments for the Pakistan Super League. The board has been in regular contact with Shakib, emphasising that the move is part of a genuine plan rather than a public relations exercise. If all goes to plan, his return would come ahead of a broader goal rather than a one-off appearance, signaling a long-term strategy for Bangladesh cricket.
