'The team that Shakib plays in is lucky'

Shakib Al Hasan last played in white in April last year. He was not seen in red ball cricket after that. This time, the former captain returned to the white team with the last Test of the series against Sri Lanka. Assistant coach Nick Pothus is happy to have this experienced all-rounder back in the team.

The day before the match, Pothus said in a press conference in Chittagong on Friday about Shakib's return, "Whichever team Shakib plays, they should be called lucky." We welcome him. It's always great to have him in the dressing room. His energy quickly spread to everyone. Whenever he joins the team, he gives a lot to the team.'

Shakib's fitness is being watched by Pothas. At the same time, Tiger's coach wants to see this star cricketer happy, 'It feels great to see him. He seems to have lost weight. His BPL went well. Dhaka Premier League has started well. He is happy, and we want to see Shakib happy too.'

Asked how many bowlers will be in the team for Shakib's return match, Pothus said, "We will take this decision tomorrow morning." When Shakib came, there was a calmness in the team. Shantao (Nazmul Hussain) will get one, from whom he can take advice. He is a very experienced player, a world-class player.
