Shakib al Hasan has received the No Objection Certificate from the Bangladesh Cricket Board to take part in the upcoming Caribbean Premier League Twenty20 for the franchise Jamaica Tallawahs.
The fourth edition of the CPL gets underway next Wednesday and the Bangladesh all-rounder will immediately join his franchise after completing his assignment with Abahani Limited in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League.
Shakib's Jamaica will start their CPL mission against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots on July 2 at Warner Park, Basseterre in St Kitts.
The 29-year old southpaw, who previously played for Barbados Tridents, was picked up by Jamaica at a staggering $110,000 during the players' draft in February this year.
Shakib, who is the only Bangladesh cricketer to get picked in the draft, will play alongside the likes of West Indies' Chris Gayle and Andre Russell, Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara and South African tearaway Dale Steyn.
