Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh’s superstar all-rounder, is set to return to training as his return to international cricket is fast approaching.

Shakib, banned for a year after failing to report corrupt approaches, is free to play international cricket again from October 29. Nazmul Abedeen, Shakib’s mentor, told ESPNcricinfo that Bangladesh’s greatest cricketer is preparing to undergo a training camp at his alma mater, the BKSP facility in Savar. The training will be a full-fledged program to ensure Shakib returns to full fitness.

“Shakib will come to the BKSP next month where he will have coaches and trainers available,” Abedeen said. “We are functional as the coaches are all residing within the campus, so we can work with him well. Shakib will have everything at his disposal.”

Shakib believes he will return to a cricket as a more mature and calm man. He previously spoke of the influence of his two daughters on his life, as well as how he wants both himself and others to learn from his mistakes.

“You have to be honest,” said Shakib. “You just can’t lie to the people and pretend different things. Whatever happened has happened. People are bound to make mistakes. You are not 100%. The important thing is how well you can come back from those mistakes. You can tell other people not to make those mistakes. Tell them the path so that they never take those paths.”

Shakib is currently in the United States with his family. His return to international cricket coincides with Bangladesh’s possible tour of Sri Lanka, a three-match Test series that the SLC and BCB are working towards starting in mid-October. However, it remains to be seen whether Shakib will play a part in that series, should it go ahead.
