Shakib Al Hasan is fit and will return to the Bangladesh squad for the second Test against Pakistan in Dhaka next week, his side said Tuesday.
A hamstring injury against the West Indies last month prematurely ended Shakib's time at the T20 World Cup 2021, and he missed November's three-match short-format series against Pakistan.
He was included in the squad for the first Test, which ended with a thumping eight-wicket victory for Pakistan on Tuesday, but was subsequently ruled out.

Without key spinner Shakib, Taijul Islam staged a lone and losing battle for Bangladesh despite his 7-116 to help the host to a first innings lead of 44.
Bangladesh also included pace bowler Taskin Ahmed, who missed the first Test due to a finger injury. Batter Mohammad Naim, who has played 32 T20Is and two One-Day Internationals, received his maiden Test call-up.
The second Test will be played at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium from December 4-8.
