Will This Player’s Career End With The Kanpur Test? A Shocking Statement Has Come Out After A Four-hour Meeting

Bangladesh’s veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan made a big announcement in a press conference before the Kanpur Test match to be played between Team India and Bangladesh. He has decided to quit T20 international cricket with immediate effect and has expressed his desire to retire from Test cricket at the end of the home series against South Africa in Mirpur next month to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Now a big statement of Bangladesh Cricket Board President Farooq Ahmed has come out in this regard.

Will Kanpur Test be Shakib’s last match?

Shakib Al Hasan will be able to play the series against South Africa only after he gets security in Bangladesh. Otherwise the Kanpur Test match will be the last match of his Test career. In such a situation, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Farooq Ahmed made a major statement on the issue in a press conference after a four-hour long board meeting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on September 26.

Bangladesh Cricket Board President Farooq Ahmed said, ‘Shakib’s security is not in our hands. The government must provide security and must take its own decisions. We cannot say anything about its security. We do not have the ability to provide security to anyone. I am neither an agency nor the police nor the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB). The security issue should be cleared by the government as we cannot say anything to the board.

It has been advised to play the last match in India

Farooq Ahmed further said, ‘Saqib is going through a tough time personally, so we can’t say anything more from our side. Like him, I also feel that nothing can be better if he can play his last Test from here, but the higher authorities need to be assured about his safety. He is going through a tough time. He felt it was the right time to play his last Test and we respected his decision.

After this statement of Farooq Ahmed, it is believed that it is difficult for Shakib to play in Bangladesh. In such a scenario, the Kanpur Test could be his last match in this format. However, there is a fear of rain in this match as well. In such a situation, it is difficult to say whether he will get full chance on the field for five days or not.
