All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan on Saturday was included in Bangladesh’s squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. In a tweet shared by ICC, the entire 18-member squad is listed and the team would be led by Mominul Haque. Shakib had earlier sustained a groin injury during the third ODI against West Indies and there was an injury cloud over his participation in the two-match Test series. The first Test is scheduled to begin on February 3 in Chattogram while the second Test will go ahead in Dhaka from February 11.
Earlier this month, Bangladesh defeated West Indies 3-0 in the three-match ODI series and Shakib put up good performances as he contributed with both bat and ball.
In the three-match ODI series, the all-rounder scored 112 runs and he also managed to take six wickets.
