Bangladesh Cricket Board officials said on Saturday that they have extended the leave of Shakib al Hasan for two more days to take part in the Caribbean Premier League final.

All-rounder Sakib al Hasan failed to shine with bat and ball but his team Barbados Tridents qualified for the final of the seventh edition Caribbean Premier League after beating Trinbago Knight Riders by 12 runs in the second qualifier match in Trinidad on Friday.

Sakib scored 18 off 12 balls before conceding 0-27 in two overs but despite his poor performance, Barbados went on to clinch a victory over Trinbago to set a final against Guyana Amazon Warriors on Sunday at the same venue.

‘’Sakib NOC expired yesterday. As his team went into final he called me yesterday and we have extended his NOC for two MORE days. He will come in 13 or 14 of this month,’’ said Akram adding that he is not likely to take part in the ongoing National Cricket League as he need rest.  

‘’He needs rest because he went directly to West Indies after playing Zimbabwe and Afghanistan series,’’ he said.

It [Sakib’s NCL participation]depends on the coach and we are following the coach instruction,’’ he said.

‘’Those who will play in two format Test and Twenty20 they have been allowed to play two matches of the NCL,’’ he said.

‘’We will decide[ about Sakib participation in NCL] after talking with the coach,’’ he said.

Bangladesh cricketers started their preparation for the upcoming India tour by taking part in the National Cricket League, country's traditional first-class tournament that began across the country from October 10.
