The door for the former Bangladesh Captain Shakib Al Hasan returned to the national team. A 38 -year -old man, considered to be one of the greatest versators of all time, did not play cricket for the national team in 12 months, and for not being able to return things, Bangladeshi sports advisor Asif Mahmud said.
In an interview with the Bangladeshi channel 24, Shakib Al Hasan would not be allowed to carry the national flag and that he would categorically say the Bangladesh cricket album so that Shakib Al Hasan would not choose in its Czechs.
“We can’t let him bear the Bangladeshi flag,” Asif said. “It will not be possible to allow him to wear a Bangladesh jersey. Maybe I haven’t told BCB before, but now my clear direction for BCB would be that Shakib Al Hasan could never play for Bangladesh.”
The fall between Shakib Al Hasan and ASIF has long time. During the Bangladesh civil riots, they were both in opposite political camps. The Shakib, who is known to be close to the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has not returned to the ground. All-Rounder currently remains in the United States and trot around the world plays a franchise cricket.
The fight between the duo came again after Shakib wished Sheikh Hasin for his birthday 28. September. Asif took his Facebook channel and, without named the versatile, criticized his closeness with the PM deposed. He indicated that he was right to block Shakib from the team.
“You all abused me a lot for not standing one person. But I was right. The end of the discussion,” Asif said.
After taking Asif to Facebook, the versatile hit almost immediately.
“So someone finally accepted that it was because of him, that I could never deploy a Bangladeshi jersey that I can’t play Bangladesh. Maybe one day I will return to my homeland. I love you, Bangladesh,” Shakib wrote on Facebook.
Political riots in Bangladesh
The Shakib was outside the Bangladesh party from the country’s civic unrest in 2024. Protests in Bangladesh were primarily driven by protests led by students against the restoration of work quotas for the descendants of the 1971 war veterans, which is a policy perceived as supporting the ruling supporters of Awami League.
These quotas, abolished in 2018 after extensive protests, were reopened by the High Court in June 2024, which caused renewed demonstrations. The violent interventions of the government against the protesters, including the use of live ammunition and arbitrary arrest, led to hundreds of deaths and extensive outrage.
Despite the decisions of the Supreme Court in July 2024, which reduced quotas to 5%, riots continued, reflecting deeper issues of political corruption, economic stagnation and youth unemployment. This culminated in the resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024, which meant a significant shift in the Bangladesh political landscape.
