"Right now the FIR is filed and it is in the initial stage and there are lot of steps after this and until he is proven guilty we will make him play. The Bangladesh team will go to India after the Pakistan series and we want him in that series as well. He is our contracted player and if necessary we will give him legal assistance," he added.
The second Test will conclude on September 3 but Shakib will not return home as he is bound to travel to England to participate in a four-day match for Surrey. He has also received an NOC for the same from the Bangladesh board.Â
"He [Shakib] has not played red-ball cricket for a while and that is why we have given him an NOC to play for Surrey as it will help him to adjust with red-ball cricket more than anything else," a BCB official confirmed Cricbuzz on Tuesday.
Following this, Shakib will also be seen in the two-match Test series against India, kick-starting from September 19.Â
