Shakib Al Hasan, the legendary cricket player from Bangladesh, may finally get his wish to play his final Test match on home ground. Leading figures in the Bangladeshi government and cricket board are supporting Shakib, increasing the likelihood that he would be able to finish his Test career at the storied Mirpur Stadium. The experienced all-rounder's wish to say goodbye to Test cricket in front of his home fans has been conveyed by Youth and Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain.
During a Women's T20 World Cup tournament, Bhuyain stated, "He has contributed greatly to Bangladesh cricket, and I sincerely hope he gets to play his final Test here in Bangladesh." This support comes after Bhuyain had stated that security could not be ensured unless Shakib made his political position clear. The officials' position has softened, though, and they are now concentrating on giving Shakib the security he needs to play in what may be his last Test series.
Though Shakib's brief political career, which included gaining a parliamentary seat, created some controversy, it seems his political career won't prevent him from receiving a respectable farewell in the cricket world. Top government officials have changed their priority to securing Shakib's safety, with security measures put in place for his possible farewell Test, despite the fact that he was recently charged in a court matter.
Faruque Ahmed, the president of the BCB, also resigned from his previous role, saying that the board will be in charge of Shakib's safety both on and off the field. Shakib is anticipated to decide quickly whether or not to play in the forthcoming two- match Test series against South Africa.
