Is this it for Shakib?

Shakib had previously been unable to return to the country to play his farewell Test for the Tigers during the home series against South Africa.

Shakib is also currently serving a bowling ban for an illegal action. His action was flagged by the ECB after his lone match for Surrey in last year's September and on December 10, after an independent test, the ban was imposed.

The all-rounder was also not picked for the ongoing Champions Trophy after he failed a second bowling test in Chennai.

Today is the last day of the DPL's players' transfer window with various players coming in during the day to register with respective clubs for the upcoming season.
