Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan turned up at the training session of Bangladesh cricket team at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday.

Despite being ruled out of the lone-Test match against Afghanistan, which starts on June 14, due to a finger injury, the Test skipper showed up in Mirpur and spent some time watching the players train.

Shakib was also seen exchanging his views with coach Chandika Hathurusingha.

The ace all-rounder, who injured a finger during a match against Ireland last month, went to USA to be with his family. He is expected to be fit for next month's three ODIs and two T20s against the Afghans.
