Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is poised to join Surrey in the English County Championship in the coming days. The 37-year-old will feature in one County Championship match for Surrey before Bangladesh embarks on their tour of India which begins on 19th September in Chennai.

‌Shakib is scheduled to play one County Championship match for Surrey ahead of Bangladesh's tour of India next month. According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has granted him a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the match, which is set to take place on September 9 against Somerset in Taunton.

According to the report, Shakib will play one match for Surrey before flying from London to Chennai, where Bangladesh will face India in the first Test starting on September 19th. Bangladesh is scheduled to play two Tests and three T20Is against India, followed by a home series against South Africa in October. The all-rounder is currently participating in the Test series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. 

Amidst Shakib's hectic schedule, he is also under scrutiny, as he is among 147 individuals against whom charges have been filed in connection with an alleged murder during the protests in Bangladesh in early August. At the time of the incident, Shakib was out of the country, participating in the Global T20 Canada. 

Bangladesh secured a historic victory against Pakistan in the first Test in Rawalpindi, with Shakib taking three crucial wickets on the fifth day.
