The decision came as a relief for the BCB after the strike appeared set to endanger Bangladesh’s fruitful tour of India where Bangladesh would play three T20 and two Test matches beginning in November.
Shakib said, “Our players will start playing from Saturday and our national team players will join the camp (for India tour) from October 25.”
BCB president Nazmul Hassan said that they would meet most of the demands of the players.
