Jalal told reporters, "Today, two days later, I called Shakib and asked him about his decision. I told him, tell me your plan. "I still feel physically and mentally unfit," he said. He said he did not want to travel to South Africa. He wants to skip it. "
‘Then we sat down with our honorable board president. There were also a few board directors. So, thinking of Shakib's own interests, we have decided to give him a break from all forms of cricket till April 30. Everyone has agreed on this. "
