Shoaib Malik Set to Return to Bangladesh Premier League with Fortune Barishal
Shoaib Malik, the Pakistani cricketer, is set to make a comeback to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise Fortune Barishal on February 2. This will make him eligible for their upcoming match against Khulna Tigers, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
Last week, Shoaib unexpectedly left the BPL after participating in only three games for the franchise. He later clarified the reason behind his abrupt exit, stating that he had a pre-arranged media commitment in Dubai.
In a statement, Shoaib addressed the rumors surrounding his playing position with Fortune Barishal and expressed his support for the team’s upcoming matches. He also mentioned that he is available to support them if needed.
The sudden departure of the 42-year-old cricketer sparked discussions, especially after Fortune Barishal owner Mizanur Rahman revealed in an interview that Shoaib had left to reunite with his family in Dubai. However, Rahman later denied making those comments in a video posted on the franchise’s Facebook page.
Shoaib has also faced criticism for bowling three no-balls in a single over during Barishal’s game against Khulna Tigers on January 22. He is the only spinner in men’s T20s to overstep three times in an over.
Shoaib’s return to the BPL will be eagerly awaited by fans, and his presence will undoubtedly strengthen the Fortune Barishal team.
