He was supposed to return in the second Test but a source close to the team informed that the injury may continue to keep him out of action.
The source stated, "It's still not confirmed whether Shakib will play the second Test. But he is preparing himself for that. If he feels better, he will train harder."
Shakib has started training under local coach Mohammad Salahuddin at his cricket academy. He batted and bowled on Saturday and didn't feel any discomfort.
