Asia Cup 2018: The Key Player For Each Team

Bangladesh - Shakib al Hasan

Shakib is undoubtedly the player to watch out for from Bangladesh

The fact that there has been so much uproar over Shakib Al Hasan's availability shows how valuable a player he is for the Bangladesh cricket team.

Widely regarded as both the best batsman and the best bowler in the team, Shakib is undoubtedly the player to watch out for from Bangladesh.

Despite his recent injury and fitness concerns, Shakib has been in extremely good form this year: with the bat, he has made 353 runs in seven innings at an average of 50.42, and with the ball, he has taken 11 wickets in eight innings.

For Bangladesh to have a semblance of a chance at winning the Asia Cup, it is integral that Shakib plays and performs to the best of his ability.
