On October 25, the day following Bangladesh's World Cup match in Mumbai against South Africa, Shakib traveled to Dhaka. He proceeded directly to the Shere Bangla National Stadium, where he received training from Nazmul Abedeen, his childhood mentor. Although it was more for Shakib's comfort to bat with Abedeen, whom he has known since his teens, he improved on a few of his shots. After it became widely publicized, he reportedly received advice from the team management to return to Kolkata on October 26.
