Premier all-rounder Shakib al Hasan has changed his decision about taking part in the South Africa series after a long meeting with Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan Papon on Saturday.
Shakib will be available for all three formats in the upcoming tour as he will fly to Africa tomorrow (Sunday).
"Shakib is mentally a bit disturbed and is having trouble in making decisions. I think we should support him in this situation. He has made himself available for all the formats. We'll rest him if the necessity arrives as playing all formats can be tiresome" said the BCB President.

Earlier, Shakib has been granted leave from all forms of cricket till April 30 by BCB as he was physically and mentally disturbed.
"Before today, I spoke to [Nazmul Hassan] Papon Bhai a couple of days ago. As I am given a three-format contract, I will be available for selection in all three formats. The board will decide when I will be rested. I am available for selection in the South Africa tour," Shakib said.
"Now that I've sat with the board & we've seen a one-year plan, I think it's going to be easier for me. I am available for all the formats including the South Africa tour," Shakib added.
Shakib also has been shown available for all three formats of cricket as BCB on Thursday declared the name of 21 cricketers under the central contract for the term January to December 2022.
