Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will not be available for the second Test against South Africa, starting from April 8 at the St George's Park Cricket Ground.

"Shakib [Al Hasan] will not be available for the second Test as he will fly for the USA tonight with her elder daughter," Jalal Yunus, BCB's cricket operations committee chairman, told The Daily Star today.

Yunus also informed that Shakib's wife will stay with her two children in Bangladesh to look after her ailing mother. "Shakib has to fly with her elder daughter as her school has opened," he added.

So, it's unlikely that the all-rounder will be available for Mohammedan Sporting Club in the ongoing Dhaka Premier League.

Shakib returned home from South Africa to be with his ailing family members after playing the three-match ODI series, which Bangladesh won 2-1. It was, however, told earlier that Shakib may return to South Africa to play the second Test considering everything went well.
