Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has announced his retirement. He suddenly called a press conference on Thursday and said that this will be my last Test against South Africa in Mirpur. He is part of the Bangladeshi team on the Indian tour, although there is doubt about him playing the Kanpur Test.
The 37-year-old Bangladeshi all-rounder said, 'I have expressed my desire to play the last Test in Mirpur to my board. They are also trying to get me back home, if this does not happen then the Kanpur Test against India will be my last match.' Shakib said, 'I can go to my country, but I don't know what will happen to me there.'
Shakib Al Hasan has been suffering from Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) for the last few days. This is a condition in which fluid accumulates under the retina. Which obstructs vision. Due to this problem, Shakib wore a black thread around his neck in the first Test played against India in Chennai and was seen pressing it with his mouth. He had discovered this method himself.
According to the Daily Star report, Rafikul Islam said that on August 5, his son Rubel was protesting in the ring road area of Adabar. Many other students were also involved in it along with Rubel. 147 people including Shakib were accused of ordering firing on the protesters. Also, many accused were also involved in firing.
Shakib became an MP this year. He was a minister in Sheikh Hasina's government. After violent protests in the country, Sheikh Hasina had to resign from her post. He also had to leave the country. After Hasina's resignation, Nobel Prize winner Mohammad Yunus has taken over the post of Chief Advisor in the interim government of Bangladesh.
This star all-rounder of Bangladesh often remains in the news due to controversies on and off the field. In the month of April this year, he had a scuffle with the ground staff. He tried to snatch his phone and also threatened to slap him. Apart from this, he has also clashed with the players of the opposition team and umpires on the field many times.
