Shakib named Icon Player for Bangla Tigers

Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh Test and T20I captain, has been named as Bangla Tigers' Icon Player for the forthcoming season of The Abu Dhabi T10.

The cricketer made the announcement at his official Facebook page on Thursday (August 25).

He wrote, “I am delighted to represent Bangla Tigers as an icon player for the next season of T10 League. It’s always a lovely feeling to play for a franchise who are representing Bangladesh around the world. Looking forward to a new experience.”

Six-team tournament, “The Abu Dhabi T10” will be held at the Zayed Cricket Stadium from November 23 to December 4, 2022.

Couple of day ago, former national team cricketer Aftab Ahmed was named as the head coach of Bengal Tigers in this year’s T-Ten League. Now, Shakib is going to join the league for the first time.

Mohammad Yasin Chowdhury, owner of the franchise said that Bangla Tigers would be incomplete without Tiger Shakib. He is not only just a player, but also the symbol of Bangladesh cricket. We were keen to include him in the squad from our very first mission but due to the intense busy schedule of the national team, we weren't able to pick him.
