‘‘Shakib passed the test. He scored 13-plus which is one of the best in the fitness test. You can say he scored the highest,’’ Tushar told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday.

Clearing the fitness test makes Shakib eligible for the T20 tournament, scheduled to take place from the third week of November.
