Shakib in Wisden's ODI team of the decade

Shakib Al Hasan may be away from cricket as he has been serving a two-year ban with one year of that suspended imposed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) due to his failure to report corrupt approaches, but that did not take the gloss off from what he has achieved throughout his career.

Recently he has found a place in the Wisden's ODI team of the decade. Considered as the "Bible of Cricket' Wisden have announced the ODI team of the decade in its website on Saturday and Shakib found his place as an all-rounder as his performance was second to none in the last decade.
