A post shared by Shakib had earlier missed the virtual semi-final against Pakistan after he complained of a fresh pain in an injured finger.
He had hurt his left little finger during the One-day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka in January and missed the subsequent Test and Twenty20 series.
He returned to the team for the Nidahas Trophy in Sri Lanka in March and has continued playing since then. Shakib wanted to have a surgery before the Asia Cup for a complete recovery from the injury, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) insisted on him playing in the Asia Cup.
The all-rounder played the team's first four matches of the tournament, scoring 49 runs and picking up seven wickets.
