Shakib Al Hasan, a renowned Bangladesh cricketer, has been a key player for his country for many years. With an impressive record in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, he has earned the title of world No. 1 all-rounder in T20Is. However, off-field activities have also made headlines. In an incident that took place on the sidelines of a Dhaka Premier League match where Shakib was playing for Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club, before a match against Prime Bank Cricket Club, a man approached him for a selfie which angered Shakib. After refusing initially, he eventually grabbed the man by the neck and almost beat him up.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Shakib has expressed his dissatisfaction with Bangladesh’s preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024. He believes that their performance in the previous World Cup was reasonable but not exceptional and they have a chance to surpass that benchmark with better preparation. In an effort to adapt to the conditions of the USA where the tournament will be held, Bangladesh is playing a series against them. While Shakib acknowledges the importance of getting accustomed to these conditions, he also acknowledges that it may not be ideal preparation for the tournament.
Shakib has had an impressive career as a cricketer and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players from Bangladesh. His performances both domestically and internationally have helped catapult Bangladesh into becoming one of the top teams in world cricket today. Despite his successes on the field, however, his off-field behavior has also garnered attention from fans and critics alike.
In recent years, there have been several instances where Shakib’s behavior outside of cricket has caused controversy. One such incident occurred during a Dhaka Premier League match when he became enraged after refusing to take a selfie with a fan who approached him.
After initially turning down the request for a photo op, Shakib eventually lost his temper and grabbed hold of the man’s neck. The incident led to widespread outrage from fans and commentators alike who criticized his behavior as unacceptable.
Despite this incident however, it seems that Shakib remains focused on his role as one of Bangladesh’s most important players both on and off
