Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will play for Jamaica Tallawahs in this year's edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). The franchise has confirmed the signing of Shakib on Thursday.

Shakib had previously played for the Tallawahs in 2016 and 2017 editions, winning the title in his first stint with the franchise.

He had a bowling figure of 2/25 in the final in the 2016 edition.

Shakib also played Barbados Tridents in 2013, 2018 and 201 - winning the league with them in 2019. 

The southpaw has played 28 matches till now in CPL where he scored 594 runs and took 29 wickets.

The upcoming edition of CPL is scheduled to begin on August 28.

The CPL was organized last year also amid the coronavirus pandemic with a bio-bubble zone. This time there will be the same arrangements too. Due to the Covid-19 situation, all the matches of the last tournament were held in Trinidad and Tobago. This time there will be one venue only but the venue had changed. All 33 matches of this year's event will be played at Warner Park Stadium in St. Kitts.
