Shakib Al Hasan is set to fly for Minnesota to see his ailing father-in-law who has been suffering from health complications for a long time.
Gemcon Khulna will miss the ace all-rounder in the all important final on December 18.
"Shakib's father-in-law is ill, and he has to see him. After the last game, Shakib informed me that the condition of his father-in-law is critical," Nafis told in a video statement sent to the media.
"We believe the family comes first. So we have no objection. Shakib has already left the team hotel and his flight to the USA is tonight," he added.
Shakib played nine matches in the Bangabandhu T20 Cup but failed to impress much. He scored only 110 runs and bagged six wickets.
