Bangladesh national skipper Shakib al Hasan will replace Sandeep Lamichhane in the Barbados Trident squad in the ongoing Caribbean Premmier League, announced the franchise on Tuesday.

Barbados Tridents have announced that Shakib will be replacing Sandeep Lamichhane as the latter will be leaving the franchise for national duty.

‘’Shakib will join the team ahead of their match against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots at Kensington Oval on Saturday 28 September,’’ Barbados Trident was quoted in a press release by the CPL organizers.

Shakib has played in the Hero CPL before, representing both the Tridents and the Jamaica Tallawahs. When at the Tridents he recorded the best ever bowling return in Hero CPL’s history when he took 6/6 against Trinbago Knight Riders.

Shakib has played 56 Tests, 206 ODIs and 75 T20 Internationals for Bangladesh and was in outstanding form during this summer’s ICC Cricket World Cup where he scored 606 runs at a phenomenal average of 86.57. Combined with his ability as a white ball bowler Shakib will be a huge asset for the Tridents as they push for a spot in the Hero CPL knockout stages for the first time since 2016.
