By a staff Reporter: Shakib Al Hasan will not be able to stay in the upcoming New Zealand tour. Bangladesh Cricket Board has given him leave. However, the board claims that Shakib has not yet officially applied for leave. BCB president Nazmul Hasan said, "We are allowing his leave. But we also want to inform the rest of the cricketers that they should inform the board shortly before taking leave. This makes it easier to take a cricketer instead."
