BAN vs IND 2022: He is available for selection and he is available to bowl – Bangladesh bowling coach Allan Donald on Shakib Al Hasan

Bangladesh bowling coach Allan Donald has revealed the team’s captain Shakib Al Hasan is available for selection and he will be able to bowl in the second Test match against India. The veteran could only bowl 12 overs in the first innings of the opening Test at Chhatogram and it hampered his team’s chances.

The all-rounder was carrying a rib injury in the first Test match due to which he could not bowl. However, Donald has revealed good news for all Bangladesh fans ahead of the second Test match.

Meanwhile, Shakib Al Hasan could only manage three runs in the first innings as he was dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav. However, the experienced batter played a crucial knock of 84 runs in the second essay and he is going to hold the key for Bangladesh in the second Test with both bat as well as the ball.

Donald said in a pre-match press conference: “Shakib’s ok. He will bowl. He was a little bruised and battered in the one-day game here but he has gone through that. First of all, he is available for selection and he is available to bowl. He’s good to go.”

The former South African gun fast bowler revealed the team is expected to back the same three spinners in the second Test. Donald also disclosed that Taskin Ahmed will play in the second game.

“I think it will be the same three spinners that we have seen and also think we are welcoming back Taskin and then Khaled [Ahmed] as well. That’s probably what I can see happening.

Donald added: “The good news is Shakib is good to go and looking at the pitch out there I think he will very much come into play.”

The second Test match between Bangladesh and India will take place at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka from December 22.
