Shakib to return home on Thursday

Ace allrounder Shakib Al Hasan is set to leave South Africa tomorrow (Thursday) for Bangladesh as most of his family members  are currently going through health crisis.

His mother, mother-in-law and two children out of three are currently admitted to hospital with various health complications. 

As a result, he may miss the first Test, scheduled to be held in Durban  from March 31-April 4. But the BCB sources said he will be in South Africa before the second Test, scheduled for April 7-11 at Port Elizabeth. Shakib was supposed to return to country after the second ODI but he  stayed back as Bangladesh stood on a chance to clinch the three-match ODI  series for the first time on South Africa soil.

Shakib himself led Bangladesh to historic first victory on South African soil for the first time, striking a tremendous 64 ball-77 that helped Bangladesh win the first ODI by 38 runs. South Africa however hit back with seven-wicket victory in the second ODI.
