After the advertisement work in Dubai, Shakib Al Hasan set foot on the country's soil at around 9:30 pm tonight. Before boarding the flight to Dubai on March 6, he told reporters not to visit South Africa. Controversy was created on this statement of his. BCB yesterday suspended him from all forms of cricket till April 30.
Media workers were present at Shahjalal International Airport today to talk to him about these issues.
But Shakib didn't say anything today. He got off the plane and went straight out with the car. Earlier this evening BCB released the list of central contracts for this year. Shakib's name in all three formats! Before leaving for Dubai, Shakib claimed that BCB did not give him any contract papers. The next day, BCB President Nazmul Hasan Papon told Kal Kantha that Shakib was given contract documents three to four months ago to know in which format he will play.
Before leaving for Dubai, Shakib told reporters at the airport that he is not very interested in Tests. But Nazmul Hasan Papon told Kal Kantha that during the ODI series against Afghanistan in Chittagong, Shakib gave him consent to play the Test and ODI series in South Africa. At the same time, the BCB chief expressed his anger about Shakib and said, 'If he did not want to play, he would have told me that he would not play. Why so much drama now? Saying that he is mentally disturbed. My question is, would you have said the same thing even if you got a team in the IPL?'
