Shakib and India captain Rohit Sharma are the only two players who have featured in each edition of the T20 World Cup so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, it was speculated that this edition would be Shakib's final appearance in the T20 showpiece. He is the leading wicket-taker in the T20 World Cup so far with 47 wickets in 36 matches. The all-rounder had previously desired to announce all-format retirement after the 2025 Champions Trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Firstly, when I started I didn't expect that I will play for so long and secondly since the start of T20 Cricket World Cup till this T20 World Cup, I have participated in all them along with Rohit Sharma. It is a matter of pride for me and I'm happy that I could represent the country,\" Shakib was quoted in a video uploaded in BCB's Facebook page on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Me and Rohit Sharma are the only two players who played all the T20 World Cups and I hope that I can play another World Cup but before that would like to perform well in the tournament and Bangladesh can do better than the previous T20 tournament,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shakib feels the wickets in the USA will suit them in the tournament as it is similar to their home pitches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It is alright that the USA is my second home but it is difficult to say but I think we will get that because earlier when we played in the West Indies and America we did well and we played in Florida we did well,\" said Shakib.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We always get favour their because those pitches are quite similar to ours back home. I hope we will get an advantage in both places,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh are set to take on India in their second warm-up match on Saturday before starting their T20 World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka in Dallas on June 8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shakib-al-hasan-hopes-to-play-2026-t20-world-cup.JPG", "alt_img": "Shakib Al Hasan hopes to play 2026 T20 World Cup", "alt_title": "New Delhi : ICC Men's Cricket World Cup match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Shakib Al Hasan Hopes To Play 2026 T20 World Cup On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Shakib Al Hasan Hopes To Play 2026 T20 World Cup, T20 Cricket World Cup: Bangladesh experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is hoping to play in the 2026 T20 World Cup.", "seo_keywords": "Shakib Al Hasan, T20 World Cup, New Delhi, Rohit Sharma, Champions Trophy, T20 Cricket World Cup, T20 World Cups, World Cup, West Indies, Sri Lanka", "tag": "", "tagging": "Shakib Al Hasan, T20 World Cup, New Delhi, Rohit Sharma, Champions Trophy, T20 Cricket World Cup, T20 World Cups, World Cup, West Indies, Sri Lanka", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "shakib-al-hasan-hopes-to-play-2026-t20-world-cup", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1461", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-05-31 18:02:04", "updated": "2024-05-31 18:02:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Shakib Al Hasan, T20 World Cup, New Delhi, Rohit Sharma, Champions Trophy, T20 Cricket World Cup, T20 World Cups, World Cup, West Indies, Sri Lanka", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-05-31 18:02:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/shakib-al-hasan-hopes-to-play-2026-t20-world-cup-145612" }
