New Delhi: Ahead of the first T20I against India, Bangladesh batsman Liton Das on Thursday said 'it is okay' to play without Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib Al Hasan was banned from all forms of cricket on Tuesday after he accepted the charges of breaching the ICC's Anti Corruption Code. The all-rounder also admitted to the charges and agreed to the sanction with the ICC in lieu of an Anti-Corruption Tribunal hearing. "We are looking forward to the series because anything can happen in cricket. Shakib was injured previously then also we played cricket in Asia Cup, so it is okay," Das told reporters here.
Shakib will be able to resume international cricket from October 29, 2020, provided he satisfies the conditions of the sanction. "We had a good preparation before coming here. We had a training camp back in Bangladesh and then we also have a couple of days of training here. So it is a good opportunity to adapt. Shakib is the best player in our team and we are going to miss him definitely," Das said.
