Shakib was among five Bangladeshi cricketers who were selected by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) to feature in the Twenty20 tournament scheduled be held from August 10 to 31.
It was learnt that during yesterday's meeting of the cricket operations committee most of the members expressed negative opinions about Shakib's participation in the Sri Lankan competition as they believe it may aggregate the injury.
When asked about the matter, BCB's media committee chairman Jalal Yunus said: “We recommended giving the green signal for the selected players but yes, we have reservations about Shakib's participation. What we learnt is that he has some problem with his knee and in that case we can't take any risk with our best player when we have the T20 World Cup and home series against West Indies in September and November. The board will take the final decision after talking with physio (Vibhav Singh) and head coach (Richard Pybus).”
National skipper Mushfiqur Rahim, all-rounder Nasir Hossain, left-arm spinner Elias Sunny and dashing opener Tamim Iqbal were the other players selected for the competition.
