Head Coach Paul Nixon praised Shakib’s achievement, describing him as “a true professional and a match-winner.”
“Reaching 500 T20 wickets is no small achievement,” Nixon said. “It speaks volumes about his tremendous ability, his superb skills, and relentless competitiveness over the years.
We’re honoured to have a player of his calibre in the Falcons family.”
Shakib, already regarded as one of the finest allrounders in modern cricket, continues to leave his mark on the CPL with both bat and ball. His milestone places him in elite company and further cements his reputation as one of the format’s most enduring match-winners.
