Shakib, Tamim likely to play partially in PSL

Bangladesh stars Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal will only be only partially available in the second season of Pakistan Super League (PSL) which begins on February 9.

Shakib was the part of Karachi Kings while Tamim played in Peshwar Zalmi. Tamim was in imperious form in the first season and topped the batting chart before he left the tournament for national commitment during the halfway mark.
Both of them however were recruited by Peshwar Zalmi this season. But they were set to miss the initial part of the PSL in any case, as they will be involved in Bangladesh's one-off Test against India starting from February 9.
Both men were due to fly out to Dubai and join Peshawar Zalmi the day after the Test ends. For now though the franchise has named former Sri Lanka batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan as a replacement for Shakib. Peshawar have also brought in senior West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels for Hales, who is nursing a fractured hand.
If a Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka in February is confirmed, Shakib and Tamim may miss the whole tournament. However it is learnt Shakib and Tamim will ask the BCB's approval to rejoin the team if they make it to the final, Peshawar are in talks with the Afghanistan Cricket Board and are expected to recruit one of their players on Tuesday.
