Shakib leaves for USA tonight

Bangladesh ace all-rounder Shakib al Hasan will leave for USA tonight (Friday night).

Shakib was expected to feature in the second Test for Bangladesh during the tour of Sri Lanka, scheduled from October 23 that was later postponed due to quarantine squabble.

As a result he changed his preparation programme and returned back to USA where his two daughters are living with his wife.

Shakib, who is now serving a year-long ban for hiding conversations with a bookmaker, is free to resume international cricket from October 29.
