Shakib Al Hasan Misses First Test Against South Africa
Team India thrashed Bangladesh by a margin of 2-0 in the recent Test series. After that, Bangladesh is now all set to play a Test series against South Africa at home. A total of 2 matches will be played in both teams. The opening match was played on October 21 at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. A few hours before this match, big news came out from the Bangladesh team. Bangladesh’s experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will not play in this match. Captain Najmul Hussain Shanto has given this information.
Shakib had abruptly announced his retirement from T20I cricket during the India tour. It was also announced that if security is provided in Dhaka, the last test match will be played there. Accordingly, Shakib was included in the team for the first match. But due to growing opposition to Shakib, it has become clear that he will not play in the first match.
Shakib has a criminal record in one case. This is why Shakib is being opposed. So Shakib will not play in the first match. So will Shakib retire from Test cricket without playing a farewell match at home? Everyone’s attention is on this.
