Bangladesh is hoping that Shakib will be able to play against India.

Bangladesh is hopeful of Shakib Al Hasan getting fit for their next World Cup match against India on October 19. Shakib, the team’s captain and all-rounder, missed the previous match against New Zealand, as he suffered a left quad injury.

Bangladesh team manager Khaled Mahmud said that Shakib is “developing well” and that he is “likely to be fit” for the match against India. Mahmud also said that Shakib will undergo a capability test on October 18 to determine his availability for the match.

Shakib is a key player for Bangladesh, and his return to the team would lift their game ahead of the crucial India match. Bangladesh is currently last fourth in the World Cup standings, and to reduce negative scores they need to win their remaining matches for their better survival.

India is also under pressure to win the match against Bangladesh. India is currently on top of the World Cup points table, but they need to win their remaining matches to ensure a place at the highest stage.

The match between Bangladesh and India is expected to be a close and exciting contest. Both teams are evenly matched, and they both have the potential to win the match.

It will be interesting to see if Shakib is able to play in the match. If he is able to play, it will give Bangladesh a significant advantage. Shakib is a world-class all-rounder, and he can make a significant impact on the match with both the bat and the ball.

However, even if Shakib is not able to play, Bangladesh still has a chance of winning the match. Bangladesh has a number of other talented players, such as Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mahmudullah.

While, the way India is right now competing is having a control on both batting and bowling. Likewise the host is in form to dominate the World Cup 2023 tournament.
