All-rounder Shakib al Hasan will join the preparation camp of Bangladesh, said Bangladesh Cricket Board officials on Tuesday.

BCB had sent a letter to Shakib, who is currently in the camp of his IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad in the ongoing IPL, to let him know that team’s practice camp for the ICC Cricket World Cup will begins on April 22 and ask him whether he can join the camp or not.

It was learnt that Shakib had agreed to return back from the tournament to be part of the training camp from the start.

‘’We have sent him the letter yesterday and he is expected to join us on April 22 or 23,’’ said BCB cricket operation chairman Akram Khan on Tuesday.

Shakib is currently in the camp of his IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has played just one game in the tournament but chances are high that he may play at the latter stage when several key overseas recruits of Sunrisers will leave the squad to join their respective side’s World Cup camp.
