Shakib Al Hasan, a highly skilled Bangladesh cricketer, has been a vital player for his country for over a decade. He has played in numerous Test matches, ODIs, and T20Is since 2006. Currently, he holds the titles of world No. 1 all-rounder in T20Is and world No. 2 all-rounder in ODIs, earning him immense respect in the cricket world. However, off-field incidents such as shouting at an umpire and assaulting a fan seeking a selfie have cast a shadow over his career.
Shakib’s behavior during the Dhaka Premier League match where he played for Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club has raised concerns among fans and experts alike. Before a match against Prime Bank Cricket Club, a man approached him for a selfie, and after initially refusing, Shakib became upset and grabbed the man by the neck. This incident has overshadowed his impressive performance on the field.
Apart from his on-field activities and off-field actions, Shakib has also expressed dissatisfaction with Bangladesh’s preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Despite their reasonable performance in the last World Cup, Shakib believes that the team can surpass their previous achievements by winning three matches in the first round. Bangladesh’s decision to play a series against the USA is aimed at adapting to local conditions and gaining valuable experience.
As Shakib faces criticism for his actions and shares his thoughts on Bangladesh’s cricketing future, his legacy as a talented cricketer continues to be a topic of debate among fans and experts alike. While he has achieved much success on the field, it remains to be seen how he will handle off-field issues moving forward.
