Shakib has not yet rejoined the field as it has been confirmed that he will not be continuing in the ongoing Tests. The team management has not yet confirmed whether Shakib will be available in the XI in the second Test.
During the 17th over of the first innings, Shakib suffered pain when he was fielding a ball from Kraigg Brathwaite. He was feeling discomfort due to pain in his groin. He then took some time to continue. However, the all-rounder left the field with 12 overs left in the day's play.
