BCB will not take responsibility for Shakib's security
If possible, Shakib Al Hasan wants to play the last Test of his career at Mirpur Sherbangla Stadium. South Africa will visit Bangladesh next month. Announcing his retirement from Test and T20I in Kanpur today, he said that if he is given adequate security, he wants to play the last Test on the soil of the country.
However, BCB president Farooq Ahmed told the media after the board meeting today, "The issue of security is not in our hands. He has to decide on this. I can't say anything about this from the board. BCB cannot afford to provide personal security to a particular person.
Farooq thinks that the issue of Shakib's security should come from the highest level of the government, "The issue of security should come from the highest level of the government." BCB is not an agency, not police, not RAB. The issue of security should come from the government.
The BCB president, however, wants Shakib to play the last Test of his career on home soil.
Shakib's retirement announcement is his own decision, the BCB president said, 'Shakib is going through a very bad time in his life right now. I did not try to convince him. He felt it was the right time to retire. I respect his decision. There is not much to say for him from my side.
Shakib, who was elected as a Member of Parliament in the parliamentary elections last January, could not return to the country after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government on August 5. Meanwhile, he played Tests for the country in Pakistan, and is now with the team in the Test series against India. After playing in Pakistan, he went to England and played county cricket for Surrey. A murder case was filed against Shakib after the fall of the government. Shakib is naturally worried about whether he will be arrested when he returns home. Even if you are not arrested, you may be banned from leaving the country. His family lives in the United States. Shakib wants assurance in all aspects. In addition to security, if you go to Bangladesh, you are guaranteed to return to your family. Whether it is confirmed from the top level of the government or BCB, this is Shakib's demand.
