Shakib will only be available for the Sylhet phase of BPL, if his eye issue is resolved by then, according to a Cricbuzz report. "He (Shakib) is leaving for Sylhet today and we are expecting him to be available during the Sylhet phase if he recovers from his eye problem. Let's hope for the best but if that is not the case we have to play with our available resources," the report quoted Rangpur Riders' chief executive officer Ishtiaque Sadeque as saying.

Riders ended up losing the game by five wickets. After the defeat, Riders' captain Nurul Hasan did not shy away from telling the media that Shakib was struggling with the eye illness. "He (Shakib) has been struggling with eyesight problem for sometimes now. I think he has been in touch with the doctors regularly. The doctors only could say in what stage the problem is now," Nurul told the press.
