The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said that Shakib al Hasan will be playing the second Test match against Pakistan scheduled from August 30 to September 3.
The veteran player is allowed to play cricket until proven guilty.
BCB President Faruque Ahmed responded to the ongoing controversy.
“He (Shakib) will continue playing. We received a legal notice regarding bringing him back, and we replied to them saying this (that he will continue to play),” BCB president Faruque Ahmed responded.
This decision came after the legal system urged the board to immediately withdraw the left-handed batter from all forms of cricket.
