I was happy when Shakib wasn't selected in first auction. Two reasons.
1) His would become more hungry.
2) He would look elsewhere such as county cricket. Getting a two year contract with any county team would be 10x better batsman than whatever $120,000 would teach him. ei shob IPL kheile ki Imran Khan'er cheye better player howa jai?

I don't think IPL would teach Sakib anything. I hope it doesn't affect his mindset. To me, IPL is a business venture and Shakib just got a lot of money. Knowing him, he'll be fine. He was not too keen about that in the first place, apparently.
On the other hand, now a days a county contract is not as easy as it was during Inran Khan's days. Very few South Asians play in county and those that do are old veterans. With the dogma associated with Muslim And Bangladeshi, doubt Shakib can get a contract there. Though It'd be fantastic if he could.
So in the end, something is better than nothing.
