It has been a while since the best all-rounder in the world has taken the field to play in a cricket game. After injuring his finger against Sri Lanka in the final of the tri-nation in Bangladesh on the 27^th of January, Shakib has been out of contention as he is recuperating from it.

However, according to recent report from Prothom Alo, Shakib Al Hasan could be back against Sri Lanka in the next game of the Nidahas trophy. After losing both their clash against Indian and winning one against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh need to win their next match in order to get to the final.

And they might have Shakib for the game. Apparently, the all-rounder has completely recovered from his injuries and could play against Sri Lanka in the all-important next match--where a win is mandatory for the Tigers to qualify for the final--if all goes well.
