Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has engaged in a round of discussions with the IPL franchises and is desperate to play in the IPL 2025. The senior player has been going through a tough time for the last few months, both off-field as well as on-field.

Shakib Al Hasan last year was accused in a murder case during the anti-government protests. Following that he was banned from entering his country. He wanted to play his last Test on home soil, but that wish seems to be more or less over as his international career seems to be in jeopardy.

Shakib Al Hasan, following the bam in his country, played the county cricket and leagues in various countries. But he faced another setback as his bowling action was reported and then he was banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Shakib Al Hasan also was dropped from the Bangladesh squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The all-rounder then put in hard yards and corrected his bowling action as soon as the ban was imposed on him.

However, after three months, Shakib Al Hasan got the clearance from the ICC. As soon as he got the green signal, the all-rounder has been trying to return to cricket at the highest level. The reports claimed that he has chatted with three franchises in the IPL.

Shakib Al Hasan had discussions with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad

Shakib Al Hasan reportedly had discussions with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad, as the spin departments of these teams are comparatively weak. But with the league already commenced, his chances to play are slim.

The reports claimed that Shakib Al Hasan will be getting the opportunity to play in the IPL 2025 only if someone gets injured and drops out or withdraws their name during the tournament. The all-rounder has confirmed the franchises that he is fully prepared to play.

Shakib Al Hasan has played 71 games in the IPL and has slammed 793 runs. With the ball, the all-rounder has picked 63 wickets at an economy of over 7 and an average of just around 30.

If given an opportunity in the league, he can prove to be a valuable asset for any team that he plays. His experience will be the thing that one of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad will be looking at if they want to acquire him.
