The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has said that it is reconsidering giving No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. Akram Khan, BCB's cricket operations chairman, has now said that if Shakib wants to play the Test matches, then it will be considered in the coming days. If he has an interest, he will play Tests in Sri Lanka. "Shakib wrote in the letter that he wants to play the IPL instead of the Test series in Sri Lanka," he added. I didn't mention anywhere in my letter to the BCB that I don't want to play Tests.
