Shoaib Malik makes his comeback in the BPL 2024

Early in the tournament, former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik bowled three no balls and was alleged to have been involved in spot-fixing. However, Barishal skipper has addressed the rumour by saying that Malik left the tournament due to his prior commitment in Dubai.

“I would like to address and dismiss the recent rumors circulating about my playing position with Fortune Barishal. I had a thorough discussion with our captain, Tamim Iqbal, and we mutually planned the way forward. I had to leave Bangladesh for a pre-committed media engagement in Dubai,” he posted.

“I extend my best wishes to Fortune Barishal for their upcoming matches, and if needed, I am available to support them if needs be.”

“I have always found joy in playing the game and will continue to do so.”
