Shakib Al Hasan, the star Bangladesh cricketer, has been a vital player for his country for many years. He boasts an impressive record in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, earning him the title of world No. 1 all-rounder in T20Is. However, his off-field activities have also garnered attention, including an incident where he was seen shouting at an umpire and another where he assaulted a fan who approached him for a selfie.
The controversial incident occurred during a Dhaka Premier League match between Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club and Prime Bank Cricket Club. Before a game against Prime Bank, a fan approached Shakib for a selfie, which angered him. After initially refusing the request, he eventually grabbed the man by the neck and almost beat him up.
Despite this incident, Shakib remains dissatisfied with Bangladesh’s preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024. While he believes that their performance in the previous World Cup was reasonable but not exceptional, he believes that they have a chance to surpass that benchmark with better preparation.
In preparation for the tournament, Bangladesh is playing a series against the USA to adapt to the conditions of the USA where it will be held. While Shakib acknowledges the importance of getting accustomed to these conditions, he also notes that it may not be ideal preparation for the tournament.
Overall, Shakib remains committed to performing at his best on and off the field while striving for success in international cricket competitions like T20 World Cup 2024.
