Earlier in January, Shakib returned to cricket after a two year ban (suspended for one year). He came back in style against West Indies. He was named the Player of the Series for his wild performance.

The other three cricketers nominated are: Babar Azam (Pakistan), Janneman Malan (South Africa), and Paul Stirling (Ireland).
