I used to be misrepresented by BCB, taking part in in IPL will probably be advantageous for me: Shakib Al Hasan

Star all-rounder Shakib-al-Hasan has claimed that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has “misrepresented” his determination to play within the IPL on the expense of representing the nationwide group in a Test sequence towards Sri Lanka.
With Bangladesh not in rivalry within the World Test Championship, Shakib mentioned it was extra significant to compete within the IPL, as that may assist him put together higher for the following T20 World Cup, which will probably be held in India later this yr.
“These two Tests are our last matches in the World Test Championship so it is not as if we are going to play the final,” Shakib advised Cricfrenzy.
“We are on the very backside of the factors desk. I don’t assume it makes a lot of a distinction.
“The other major reason is that the World Cup T20 is in India later this year. It is a very important tournament where we have much to achieve. There isn’t much to achieve in these two Tests. I think it is a better option that I prepare myself for something bigger.”
Shakib mentioned in his letter to the BCB, that he talked about about his plans to organize himself higher for the T20 World Cup.
“People are repeatedly speaking about this (skipping the Test sequence towards Sri Lanka). Those who’re saying that I’ll now not play Test cricket haven’t learn my letter correctly.
“I did not mention anywhere in my letter that I do not want to play Tests. I mentioned in my letter that I want to play in the IPL to prepare myself properly for World Cup but despite that Akram Bhai (BCB cricket operation chairman) has repeatedly said that I do not want to play Tests,” he mentioned.
With the T20 World Cup slated for October, Shakib mentioned there are lots of benefits of taking part in within the IPL this time.
“The floor the place I’ll play IPL now would be the floor the place I’ll play the World Cup match after 4 months. The gamers with whom I’ll play the IPL would be the gamers towards whom I’ll play within the World Cup.
“For this reason, I will get more advantages than anyone else from Bangladesh, and it will also help me to share my experiences with the team that I will gain by playing in the IPL,” he mentioned.
