The flexible Shakib Al Hasan has recovered from a visual challenge that will be decided in the Bangladesh team for the time being and from the final test against Sri Lanka that starts on Saturday in Chattogram. Bangladesh lost the opening round in 328 races in four days.
Shakib has been absent from the national team since November at the Cricket World Cup in India. The captain scored 82 and took two wickets to beat Sri Lanka, but broke his left index finger and a vision problem was revealed.
