Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan set to play against South Africa tomorrow as he confirmed in the pre-match press conference on Monday.
“Yesterday, during training I didn't feel anything, today will do practice again. If everything goes well, I’ll play tomorrow In Shaa Allah” Shakib, who was suffering from a thigh injury and missed important group stage clash against India.
Shakib feels that his team is not in a lost situation despite losing three out of their first four matches in the World Cup and aims to revive the momentum with a win over South Africa on Tuesday.
"South Africa have won three out of their four matches. They are in a good position. But that doesn't mean it's all over," Shakib said in a pre-match press-conference in Mumbai today.

Despite three consecutive losses, the Tigers lead the bottom half of the points table and are two spots out of the coveted top four.
In the news conference, Shakib referred to this, saying his squad still has a lot to play for in the tournament.
"We have five matches left. Tomorrow, we have an important match against South Africa. If we can win that, we will regain our momentum and will be in a very good position. Even though we haven't won many games, our position in the points-table is not too bad. The other teams are helping us. Now, it's our responsibility to help ourselves" he added.
