According to ANI, ESPNcricinfo quoted Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan saying, "I heard that he [Shakib] had earlier [before going to the West Indies] told Jalal Yunus that he might not play the ODIs. I guess if I talk to him today or tomorrow then I will get to know about it clearly. But he did not notify the board officially yet. But you can consider this as an official notice as he verbally relayed the message to Jalal bhai."
Shakib captained the national team for the first time in three years during the recently concluded Test tour of West Indies. However, under Shakib's captaincy the visitors failed to win either of the two games.
