Shakib al Hasan still finds himself in the headlines although Bangladesh’s disastrous run in the World T20 is over. It seems like the star all-rounder is encircled by a vicious affinity to controversies which he is struggling to get rid of. His latest came in the form of an interview published in a local newspaper on last Tuesday, where the former number one all-rounder reflected perhaps a bit too boldly upon the fans’ expectations, patriotism, food habits of cricketers and his earnings which have created mixed reactions.
BCB President Nazmul Hasan asked the CEO of BCB to assess the interview by Shakib. The chairman of the BCB media committee, Jalal Yunus confirmed yesterday that Nizamuddin Chowdhury, the CEO of the BCB, has been given the responsibility to ask the team management about the legitimacy of a player speaking to media during a tournament.
“During a tournament, cricketers remain under the jurisdiction of the team management and the board doesn’t interfere directly on this issues. So the BCB president wanted to know the identity of the person belonging to team management who permitted Shakib to speak during a tournament,” said Jalal.
This is not the first time for the star all-rounder who again finds himself under scrutiny for indiscretion. Just recently the 27 year old was suspended for two matches and fined Tk three lakhs for his indecent gesture during the Asia Cup.
