Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan is fully fit now and available to lead the side in their World Cup opening game against Afghanistan on October 7 at Dharamshala.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, the vice-captain of the Tigers, disclosed the information during the toss of Bangladesh's second and final warm-up game against England on Monday at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, reports BSS.

Ace allrounder Shakib missed both of Bangladesh's practice game after sustaining an ankle sprain during the training.

Shanto also was not part in the first practice game but fielded for some overs. In absence of him and Shakib, allrounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz led the side.

However, in the second practice game, Shanto won the toss and opted to bat first against England.
