Shakib free for Big Bash

Shakib Al Hasan will be eligible to play the Twenty20 Big Bash League in Australia, which commences on December 18, with the ban on his participation in overseas tournaments set to be lifted.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon confirmed the all-rounder's participation in the league and said that he took special measures to lift the ban, which was set to last till December 31 next year, on the talismanic all-rounder.
Papon informed that it would not be possible for Shakib to play in the league if the decision came through a board meeting, and that is why all board members will personally sign a document regarding the issue by tomorrow which will then be made public on Thursday.
Shakib previously played in the league for Adelaide Strikers but he is yet to be drafted in by any team this year.
