Shakib Al Hasan Farewell Match: The South African team has come to Bangladesh to play a two-match test series. This test series is going to start from 21st October. For this, both the teams have also been announced. Bangladesh team also has experienced player Shakib Al Hasan. It is believed that this will be Shakib’s last match. But Shakib Al Hasan cannot play in this match. It is being said that Shakib’s life may be in danger in this match.
Why is Shakib’s life in danger?
Shakib Al Hasan reached Dubai on Wednesday night, but due to security reasons he has been stopped from going to Bangladesh. In fact, Shakib’s name has also come up in the recent violent protests against the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh. During this time, cases have been registered against him under many charges and it is feared that if Shakib returns to the country, he may be arrested.
Shakib Al Hasan has been a supporter of Hasina government and a member of the dismissed government. Apart from this, he was also elected MP. When he was included in the Test team, there were protests against him in Mirpur, due to which the situation has become more serious. Bangladesh Cricket Board officials are worried that if Shakib plays in this test and any untoward incident happens, it will have a direct impact on the image of the country.
For this reason, the board is also avoiding taking any kind of risk and Shakib’s playing the farewell match is now under doubt. In such a situation, Shakib’s cricket career seems to be surrounded by controversies and his dream of playing his last match may remain unfulfilled.
