The auction, held on October 1, saw franchises finalize their squads within a budget of 4.8 million USD each, but Shakib, who had previously featured for Dubai Capitals in the Global T20 competition, failed to attract a bid.
Last year, Mustafizur Rahman joined Delhi Capitals in the IPL as a replacement for Mitchell Starc.
This season, he will represent Dubai Capitals, a sister franchise under the same ownership. The left-arm pacer was confirmed earlier by the team as a replacement for England’s Luke Wood.
Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik has already signed with Sharjah Warriors. Ravichandran Ashwin was listed in the auction at 120,000 USD but went unsold.
