Rumours had been rife over Shakib's availability for the upcoming tour of South Africa after the all-rounder himself said on Sunday that he was unsure of playing in the upcoming series as he was not feeling mentally or physically for international cricket for the time being. He cast further doubt by saying that it may even be that he will opt out of the ODI series, slated to begin from March 18 and play the Test series in South Africa.

Does this announcement bring an end to Shakib's discourse with BCB, regarding his availability before each season?
