Shakib underwent a scan in Dhaka, and nothing significant was discovered. The all-rounder continued to feel at ease in his ribs, but wanted to get another check on Tuesday.

“It is nothing serious, and since there was no other transportation available, he was sent in an ambulance. He (Shakib) had some stiffness and he went for a checkup,” a BCB official told Cricbuzz on Tuesday.
