International career

On August 6, 2006 at Harare Sports Club, Shakib made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Zimbabwe. He was instrumental in Bangladesh's victory, scoring 30 runs and bowled out Elton Chigumbura for his first ODI wicket.

Shakib made his T20 and T20I debut against Zimbabwe on November 28, 2006. Shakib took 26 of 28 balls on his debut and finished with a bowling figure of 1/31.His 1st T20I wicket was a wicket by Sean Williams.

Shakib made his Test debut against India on May 6, 2007. On his debut, he had a bowling average of 0/62 (19 overs) and scored 30 of 47 balls in 1st innings and 15 of 64 balls in 2nd innings. In the 2nd test versus New Zealand, Craig Cumming was Shakib's first test wicket.

In the 1st test of the test series, Shakib recorded the best bowling figures by a Bangladesh player in Tests, 7 wickets for 36 runs against New Zealand on October 20.

Shakib was ranked first among the ICC's top ODI all-rounders from January 2009 to March 2012 and then again from March 2012 to January 2013. He became the world's top-ranked Test all-rounder in December 2011. Shakib debuted in December 2014 as the world's best-ranked Twenty 20 all-rounder. He is currently the only all-rounder to be ranked in the top three ICC Player Rankings for every form of international cricket.

In June 2009, Shakib was named Bangladesh's vice-captain. The captain Mashrafe Mortaza was hospitalized during Bangladesh's West Indies tour in the following month, and Shakib took over the captaincy. At the time, he was 22 years old. Initially, Shakib's victory over the West Indies, his side's first overseas series victory, ensured his captaincy even after Mashrafe recovered. In October 2009, Shakib was named "Best Player of the Year" by The Wisden Cricketer. In July 2010, he stepped down from the ODI captaincy to focus on his personal success. Mortaza was forced to resign until he was hurt, and Shakib was asked to resume leadership. This continued until he was robbed of captaincy in September 2011 due to a weak World Cup campaign.

Shakib was called to tour Zimbabwe in February 2006 by Bangladesh's senior squad. Shakib was one of the three uncapped players to be selected in the squad, alongside Farhad Reza and Mushfiqur Rahim. Both Shakib and Reza were described as "very good cricketers in all aspects of the game," and Faruq Ahmed, the chief selector, said Bangladesh had "high hopes from them, and it was time for them to excel at the international level." Shakib's debut on the tour came on August 6th; his first wicket was with all-rounder Elton Chigumbura, who finished with bowling figures of 29. He also scored 30 not out, while Shahriar Nafees scored his maiden ODI century to help Bangladesh beat Bangladesh by eight wickets. It was the last match in the series, and Zimbabwe defeated 3–2. Shakib was one of three players to be granted a rookie deal with the Bangladesh Cricket Board in September 2006, along with Farhad Reza and Mehrab Hossain Jr. The BCB's central contracts and under supervision of the BCB have increased from 20 to 23 players.

In the 2007 Cricket World Cup hosted West Indies, Shakib was included in a 15-man team captained by Habibul Bashar. Bangladesh made it to the second stage of the competition and came in seventh place. The team sparked a lot of controversy by defeating India to help them pull them out of the tournament. Shakib was one of three Bangladesh batsmen in the match to score a half century and help the team beat the target of 192 to win with Tamim Iqbal in just his fifth ODI and Mushfiqur Rahim. Shakib scored another half-century in the tournament, although Bangladesh was defeated by England on that very occasion. He took 202 runs from 9 matches on an average of 28.85 with a high score of 57* and 7 wickets at an average of 43.96.

India toured Bangladesh in May for two Tests and three ODIs later this year. Shakib made his Test debut against India on May 18th. He batted once, scoring 27 runs, and bowled 13 overs without taking a wicket as the match ended in a draw. He batted twice, 15 runs, and bowled 19 overs without missing a single wicket, while India won by an innings and 238 runs in his second match. India defeated the Test series 1–0 and the ODI series 3–0. Dav Whatmore resigned from his role as Bangladesh coach, while Bangladesh batsman Mohammad Ashraful replaced Habibul Bashar as captain after the tour.

The ICC World Twenty2020 was hosted in South Africa in September 2007. Although victory over West Indies in the first round was enough to guarantee Bangladesh's passage to the second round, the only one of their five matches won. Shakib took 4/34 in the match against the West Indies, the first time a Bangladesh player had taken more than three wickets in an International Twenty2020 match (T20I). When Shakib played against Australia in the tournament, he became one of three victims of the first T20I hat-trick. For Australia's victory, Brett Lee took Shakib's wicket, followed by those of Mortaza's and Alok Kapali. It was announced in October that Jamie Siddons, Australia's assistant coach, would take over the role as Bangladesh coach, and that the new setup had a long-term vision and was intended to develop Bangladesh over the long run; Siddons denied that the previous setup had been planned to develop Bangladesh over the long term and keep together a core team of talented players to gain experience on international level.

Bangladesh toured New Zealand in December 2007 and 2008 for two Tests and three ODIs. Despite the fact that Shakib did not appear in the first Test, he was selected ahead of Enamul Haque Jr for the second Test due to his improved batting skills. It was Shakib's fourth Test, and before that time he had gone wicketless. Craig Cumming of New Zealand was the first wicket bowler of his first wicket. New Zealand won by an innings and 137 runs and the series was 2–0. New Zealand won 3–0 in the ODIs, completing a clean sweep in the Tests. Shakib was active in all three ODIs, scoring 31 runs at an average of 10.33 and taking 3 wickets at an average of 42.33. South Africa toured Bangladesh in February and March 2008, playing two Tests and three ODIs. Both Tests were won by South Africa. Shakib took just one wicket out of Bangladesh's defeats despite conceding 122 runs and scoring 75 runs. South Africa defeated the ODI series 3–0. Shakib completed his 1,000 ODI runs in the series; he made the tithiest appearance in his 39th ODI career with a batting average of 35.37 runs.

Despite being an all-rounder, Shakib was considered more of a batsman than a bowler during New Zealand's tour of Bangladesh in October 2008. Despite the fact that he rarely batted down the order at number seven in Tests, he had mainly batted in the top five in ODIs. Shakib will appear in the Test series against New Zealand as a specialist bowler, according to the coach, who is a step behind Shakib's normal role. He took 7/37 in New Zealand's first innings, lowering the Bangladeshi bowler's best bowling figures by a Bangladeshi bowler set by another left-armer Enamul Haque's 7-95 against Zimbabwe in Dhaka three years ago, guiding the home team to 184–8 in their second innings. Bangladesh lost the series 2–0, but Shakib finished as Bangladesh's top wicket-taker in the series with 10 wickets at 17.80. ESPNCricinfo has selected his spell to be the Best Test Bowling Showcase of 2008. Bangladesh defeated New Zealand in the first match of the ODI series, securing their first ODI victory over them, but the series was eventually lost 2–1. Shakib took five wickets from three matches, making him Bangladesh's second-highest wicket taker for the series after Mashrafe Mortaza (7); however, Shakib scored just 16 runs in the series.

Bangladesh toured South Africa in October for two Tests, three ODIs, and a T20I. Although Bangladesh lost all of their matches against South Africa save for a postponed ODI, Shakib continued to build on his solid bowling form he had against New Zealand. Shakib went wicketless on the first day of the first Test; Bangladesh's assistant coach Mohammad Salauddin gave the ball flight on the second day and went on to take five wickets. In the second Test, he took another five-wicket haul, this time as Bangladesh lost to South Africa. Shakib was the series' top wicket taker with 11 wickets at an average of 20.81, alongside South Africa's Makhaya Ntini. Shakib's success against South Africa in a losing cause prompted former Australian leg spin bowler Kerry O'Keeffe to state him as the "world's best finger spinner at the moment." In December 2008 and 2009, Sri Lanka toured Bangladesh for two Tests and a Tri-nation tournament, including Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka won both Tests and the tournament final, but Shakib put on a man of the match appearance, scoring 92 not out, in the second ODI against Sri Lanka, which was their first victory over them on the tour. Shakib's team lost their first match of the Test series when his team was defeated again.

By the ICC, Shakib was ranked first among ODI all-rounders on January 22, 2009.

Following a string of losses for Bangladesh and continuing poor form for Ashraful, there was doubt over Mohammad Ashraful and his position as captain at the start of 2009. Shakib was considered a potential replacement by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). However, the BCB was suspicious of overburdening the all-rounder and decided against the switch. Other candidates were discounted, but Ashraful remained as captain. After Bangladesh's withdrawal from the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 in the first round due to losses to Ireland and India, Ashraful's captaincy was again under scrutiny. Shakib was named vice-captain after Mohammad Ashraful was fired in June 2009, filling the position that had been vacant by Mortaza.

Bangladesh toured the West Indies from July to August 2009. Mortaza suffered his knee in the first Test but was unable to travel to the field on the final day, and Shakib was crowned captain. Bangladesh's bowling attack was led by He and Mahmudullah, who took 13 wickets in the match and securing a landmark victory for Bangladesh. It was Bangladesh's first Test victory over the West Indies and their first overseas Test victory and their second Test victory. Due to the breakdown of the West Indies Cricket Board and the West Indies Players' Union over pay, the West Indies team was extremely inexperienced. The first XI had been unable to select, and a new squad had to be chosen. The seven West Indies players made their Test debut in the match, and Floyd Reifer, who had played the last of his four Tests ten years ago, captained the team. Shakib was fined 10% of his match fee for excessive appealing; bowler Shahadat Hossain was suspended, while batsman Imrul Kayes was suspended for the same reason.

Shakib led Bangladesh for the remainder of the tour in Mortaza's absence due to injury. Shakib was Bangladesh's youngest captain and fifth youngest in the history of Test cricket, aged 22 years and 115 days at the start of the second Test. Bangladesh won the second Test under Shakib's leadership, securing their first overseas series victory. Shakib also did well, winning both the player-of-the-match and player-of-the-series awards, scoring 16 and 96 not out with the bat and 5/70 with the ball. He scored 159 runs in the series at an average of 53.00 runs and was Bangladesh's second best run-scor for the series; Shakib took 13 wickets from both matches, making him the equal most wicket-taker for the series alongside West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach. Bangladesh won the Test series 2–0 but then went on to whitewash the ODI series, winning 3–0. For the duration of Bangladesh's tour, the West Indies' conflict remained unsolved, and the West Indies continued to field an inexperienced team. Shakib was the third highest run-scoer in the series, averaging of 45.00, and was the third highest run-scorer in the series; he also took 2 wickets at an average of 48.00. Shakib was named the man of the series for his work in the ODIs.

In August 2009, Shakib was proclaimed captain for Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe, but Mortaza was still injured. Shakib scored 104 off only 64 balls before being run-out in Zimbabwe's second ODI series, putting his team to their highest ODI score and leading Bangladesh to a 2–0 lead in the series. He finished the series with 170 runs from five matches – his fifth best run-scorer – and 6 wickets averaging of 39.66, his fourth highest wicket-taker in the series. Shakib travelled to Australia to seek medical attention for acute groin pain after his team's 4–1 victory over Zimbabwe in the ODI series. Since the end of the West Indies tour, he had been suffering from the inflammation but he'd chosen to play through the pain and lead Bangladesh in Zimbabwe. Despite winning, Shakib was named Cricketer of the Year and Test Player of the Year in the 2009 ICC Awards; he was the only Bangladesh player to be nominated in either category this year.

Shakib's triumph meant that it was not a given that Mortaza would call him back as captain once fit, but it was announced in September 2009 that Mortaza would return as captain for Bangladesh's home ODI series against Zimbabwe, and Shakib would return as vice-captain. Mortaza, on the other hand, didn't recover from arthroscopic surgery on both knees in time for the series, and Shakib was then named captain. Bangladesh defeated Bangladesh 4–1. Despite losing the first match – in which Shakib slammed Bangladesh's batsmen, including himself – Bangladesh defeated Bangladesh 4–1. Shakib ran in 2,000 runs in ODIs in his second match of the series.

Shakib's name was not published on the 5th of November, 2009. In the International Cricket Rankings, there is only 1 ODI bowler.

Shakib was named "Best Player of the Year" by the Wisden Cricketer in November 2009.

England toured Bangladesh for two Tests and three ODIs between February and March 2010. England won all of their matches against Bangladesh. In both the Test and ODI sequences, Shakib was Bangladesh's leading wicket-taker (in Tests and 5 in ODI cricket). Both Tests came to their conclusion, and Shakib said that the experience had pushed his team to its limits. After wrong umpiring decisions against Bangladesh on the third day, Shakib blamed the team's misfortune, due to a lack of a referral system. Bangladesh toured England in May and July the same year, which was in turn. They lost the Test series 2–0 again. Shakib took eighth wickets from his team's top wicket-taker, but he only scored 52 runs. Bangladesh left England for Sri Lanka, which was hosting the 2010 Asia Cup in June, before the ODI series. Bangladesh lost all three of their matches. Shakib was Bangladesh's top wicket taker with five wickets with Shafiul Islam (5 each).

Shakib left the captaincy and his role as an all-rounder in July 2010 to concentrate on his own results. Mashrafe Mortaza was back in charge of ODIs. "Shakib was the individual behind the decision," coach Jamie Siddons explained, but it was a little too much for him. His form was down with the bat and he needed a rest," he said. Bangladesh's ODI half of their tour returned to England. Bangladesh lost the series 2–1, but their victory in the second match was the first time Bangladesh had defeated England in international cricket. Bangladesh was scheduled to face Ireland and Scotland and the Netherlands in Europe, while Scotland and the Netherlands were also scheduled to play two ODIs against Ireland and one each against Scotland and Netherlands. The match against Scotland was called off, and Bangladesh lost one match to each of Ireland and the Netherlands.

The ICC named him in the World Test XI for his 2009 appearances.

In October 2010, New Zealand went to Bangladesh for five ODIs. Mortaza sustained his ankle and was forced to leave the field; Shakib took over; under his guidance, Bangladesh won by a nine-run victory, during which Shakib took four wickets and scored 58 runs. Shakib was named captain for the remaining matches after it was announced that Mortaza would be unable to participate in the remainder of the series. Shakib scored a century and took three wickets to help his team win by nine runs in his fourth match. Bangladesh won the series 4–0 for their first series victory over a full member country. Shakib finished the series as the player with the most runs and wickets on either side of the series: 213 runs and 11 wickets.

Despite the fact that Mortaza returned from injury for Zimbabwe's tour of Bangladesh in December, Shakib was retained as captain for the five-match ODI series. Shakib said he was "not prepared to take the job, and I am also not happy with his position as a captain" following his team's loss in the opening ODI. Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe 3–1. Shakib was Bangladesh's second-best run-scoringer and wicket taker for the series, with 156 runs, including two half centuries and nine wickets.

Bangladesh co-hosted the World Cup with India and Sri Lanka from February to March 2011. West Indies defeated Bangladesh for 58 runs, the team's lowest ODI score and a new low for a Full Member at the World Cup. Shakib referred to this match as the "worst day" of his career. In the aftermath, Shakib's house was shattered by enraged followers, as was the West Indies team bus as it left the ground. Bangladesh won against England, Ireland, and the Netherlands, but the tournament did not advance to the first round because of defeats by West Indies, India, and South Africa. Shakib was Bangladesh's top wicket-taker in the tournament, with 8 wickets at an average of 27.87, and his 142 runs from 6 wickets made him the team's third highest run-scoer in the tournament.

Australia toured Bangladesh for three ODIs shortly after the World Cup. Shakib scored 51 runs to reach 3,000 runs in ODIs in the first match of the series. Bangladesh lost the series 3–0, Shakib scored 69 runs in three matches and took just one wicket, despite losing 117 runs. Shane Watson's role in the series earned him first place among the ODI all-rounders, claiming the honour from Shakib.

Bangladesh and Zimbabwe were set to win the one-off Test, Zimbabwe's first in five years, and the five-match ODI series when Bangladesh toured Zimbabwe in August 2011. Bangladesh has lost the ODI series 3–2 and the Test as a result. Shakib and his vice-captain, Tamim Iqbal, were fired after a BCB official sluggish leadership.

In October 2011, Bangladesh's first series under new management was against the West Indies. Shakib, Bangladesh's top wicket taker in both the ODI and Test series, was backed up by 168 runs in the two Tests (only Tamim Iqbal scored more), and 79 from two innings in the ODIs. Both series were unsuccessful. Shakib was Bangladesh's top run-scorer and wicket-taker in the home Test series against Pakistan in December 2011. He was Bangladesh's first player to score a century (his highest score, 144) and take five wickets in a single Test in the second Test of the series. He rose to first place in the ICC's list of Test all-rounders following the series.

He became the second Bangladeshi to both take 100 Test wickets in Tests for Bangladesh in late 2012, making him the top wicket taker in Tests for Bangladesh and completing the 1000-wick double in the home series against West Indies in late 2012. However, due to a shin injury, he was disqualified from the ODI and T20 series.

Shakib was disqualified from the Sri Lanka tour in March due to a calf muscle strain. At a private hospital in Sydney, Australia, he had a fruitful operation on the right leg. Since his operation, he will be on a one-month absence.

Shakib became only the fourth player in Test history after Alan Davidson (1960) and Imran Khan (1983) scored a hundred and took ten wickets in the same match.

Shakib became no. 1 on December 7, 2014, before the 7th of December. All-rounder 1 T20.

Shakib was instrumental in Bangladesh's most successful year in cricket in 2015. Following his success in the 2015 Cricket World Cup (where he batting in the first match of the 2015 Cricket World Cup and became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to score 4,000 runs in ODI cricket), he later helped the team win by a whitewash of Pakistan and a series victory over South Africa. On the third day of the one-off Test match against India, he took his 100th Test wicket at home. He took his 200th wicket of his ODI career on July 15th by taking the wicket of Hashim Amla in the final ODI of the ODI series, making him the fastest, youngest, and only seventh cricketer to 4,000 wickets double in ODI cricket (in 156 matches).

Shakib became Bangladesh's top wicket taker in ODIs as well as in all formats at the time on September 26.

Shakib became the first Bangladeshi to bagged 150 Test scalps on October 22, 2016, with the wicket of Joe Root.

Shakib was appointed as the team's T20I captain for the second time following his release from T20I of Mashrafe Mortaza in 2017. Mushfiqur Rahim was also dismissed from Test captaincy, and Hasan was appointed Test captain. However, he sustained his finger while on vacation in Bangladesh from 2017 to 18, but he was bedrest for a few days. Mahmudullah captained the team against Sri Lanka and the 2018 Nidahas Trophy, in his absence. In July 2017, he was on his first tour against Pakistan.

Al Hasan became the fourth bowler in Test history to win 5 wickets against all Test Playing nations (except Afghanistan and Ireland, who were only granted Test status earlier this year) when he first encountered Australia against Australia on August 28. In the first innings, he scored a half-century. He only scored 8 runs with the bat in the second innings, but he took another 5 wickets for his first 10-wicket haul and victory. However, Al Hasan took a break from Test to concentrate on limited-overs games after the series.

He was one of ten cricketers to be granted a central contract by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in April 2018 ahead of the 2018 season. He was named in the Rest of the World XI squad for the one-off T20I against the West Indies in May 2018, but he was later called out of squad due to personal circumstances.

In November 2018, he became Bangladesh's first bowler to take 200 wickets in Tests. He became the fastest cricketer in Tests, scoring 3,000 runs and taking 200 wickets in a single match, while doing so in his 54th match.

He was named as the vice captain of Bangladesh's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup in April 2019. He and Mushfiqur Rahim scored 142 runs for the third wicket in Bangladesh's first innings of the World Cup against South Africa, the highest team for any wicket in a World Cup match. Bangladesh went on to score their then highest total in an ODI match at that time, finishing on 330/6 from their 50 overs. He took the wicket of Aiden Markram in the second innings for his 250th wicket in ODIs, making him the fastest cricketer to take 250 wickets and score 5,000 runs in ODIs in terms of number of matches (199). Bangladesh won the match by 21 runs with Shakib named as the player of the match. He became the first cricketer to score 50 in a first match of Bangladesh since 2007.

Shakib played in his 200th ODI in Bangladesh's next match in the tournament against New Zealand. Shakib became Bangladesh's second batsman for Bangladesh after scoring 6,000 runs in ODIs on June 17, 2019. He was named man of the match for his unbeaten 124 on Sunday.

Shakib Al Hasan's first run in this World Cup came out for 41, his first score under fifty runs. He also missed out on becoming the first Bangladeshi player to score 6 consecutive scores in ODIs by being partnered with Tamim Iqbal, who had 5 50+ points in 2012. Bangladesh continued to post their second highest score in an ODI match in a losing cause, finishing on 333/8 in 50 overs.

Shakib became the first batsman for Bangladesh to reach 1,000 runs in the Cricket World Cup and the first bowler for Bangladesh to take a five-wicket haul in a World Cup match on June 24, 2019. After Yuvraj Singh's death, he was also the second cricketer to score 50 runs and take five wickets in a World Cup match.

Shakib became the first cricketer in the World Cup to score 600 runs and take 10 wickets in a single tournament on July 2nd. He ended the tournament as the best run-scorer for Bangladesh with 606 runs in eight matches, beating Sachin Tendulkar's record for the most runs in a World Cup group stage. With the bat, Shakib had a mind blowing average of 86.57. He took 11 wickets in eight matches in the World Cup and appeared in eight matches. The ICC and ESPNCricinfo have placed him in the 'Team of the Tournament.'

Shakib took his 350th wicket in international cricket in September 2019 in the final group match against Afghanistan during the 2019-20 Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series.

Shakib played 131 runs in ODIs from 1 September 2011 to December 21,011 runs at an average of 51.1 runs on 4 hundreds, while also taking 97 wickets in ODIs from 1 to 28.63. He had been included in the ICC Men's ODI team of the Decade.

He returned to the national squad for the Test and ODI series against the West Indies after being banned for one year. He took his 150th wicket at home in the first ODI. Shakib also set a new record by becoming the first Bangladeshi cricketer to bowl in 100 innings on home. In the third ODI, he became the only cricketer to achieve the double of 6,000 runs and 300 wickets in a single region. Bangladesh went on to win the three match series by 3–0 and named Player of the series after scoring 113 runs and taking up 6 wickets at an average of 8.33.

Shakib sustained a groin injury in the third ODI. However, he recovered from the injury and was therefore drafted in the Test squad. However, in the first test, he sustained an injury in another region of the same thigh that required him to leave the field later in the second day. Even if Shakib's old groin injury had resurfaced, match officials told it that it was actually a new injury. In the 1st innings, he scored 68 runs and bowled 6 overs giving 16 runs, but he was unable to bat and bowl in the 2nd innings of the 1st Test. He was found out of the 2nd test of the Olympic examination.

Shakib Al Hasan did not attend Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand because the BCB gave him paternity leave for the duration of the tour.

Shakib elected to play in the 2021 IPL, which was not endorsed by the BCB, after losing the test series against Sri Lanka in April.

During their participation in the 2021 Indian Premier League, Shakib and Mustafizur Rahman were selected in Bangladesh's 23-member preliminary squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Following the cancellation of the 2021 IPL, Shakib and Mustafizur joined the national camp on 19 May 2021 after returning from India on a chartered flight.

After pulling himself from the New Zealand tour and test series in Sri Lanka, he returned to international cricket in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Despite this, he did not do well in the series, scoring only 19 runs and taking only 3 wickets in averaging of 43.33 in three matches. He was included in the squad for all three modes of the series against Zimbabwe. He failed with bat scoring only 3 runs in one innings and picked up 5 wickets in the match. He became the leading wicket taker for Bangladesh in ODI cricket in the first match of the ODI series, despite losing his 270th dismissal and consequently selecting a five-fer in the tournament. In the second ODI, he took up 2 wickets for 42 runs and unbeaten 96 runs to help Bangladesh overcome an unbeaten lead of 2–0 in the series. He also played with both bat and ball in the third ODI. He was voted Player of the Series for his al-round results, scoring 145 runs at an average of 72.5 and taking up 8 wickets in an average of 14.75 in three matches. In three matches, he scored only 37 runs and picked up 3 wickets.

On August 8, 2021, he was nominated for ICC Player of the Month along with Mitchell Marsh and Hayden Walsh Jr. in July 2021. He was announced as the runner on August 11th. He was selected in Bangladesh's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which took place next month.

Shakib was nominated for ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year on December 30, 2021, along with Babar Azam, Janneman Malan, and Paul Stirling. The International Criminal Committee (ICC) named a ICC team of the Year 2022 in all formats on January 2022. Shakib was selected in the ICC Men's ODI Team of the Year with his colleagues Mushfiqur Rahman and Mustafizur Rahman for his results in nine wickets, average of 277 runs in 39.57 with two 50s and a total of 17.52.
