Shakib will go, Shakib will not go in South Africa, now it is the talk of Bangladesh cricket arena.
The mystification embarked on badly whether Shakib Al Hasan will be in the squad of the South Africa bound cricket team thereafter the IPL Auction, where one of the best all rounder of the world did not get any team.
The issue has turned into public interest again when Shakib before to board on Emirates Fly on Sunday evening told the media that it was not sure of his going SA tour after Shakib himself confirming his availability in the Souitrh Africa contingent on February 28.
Shakib, during the last T20 match against South Africa in Chottagram when talking to BCB president confirmed that he (Shakib) would play both Test and One-day series against South Africa will start from March 18 and early April respectively.
But when just it was four days to go Bangladesh team to fly for South Africa, Shakib on Sunday evening at Hajrat Shah Jalal Int. Airport told the media that he wanted to out of international cricket in need.
Shakib, when explaining the reason of taking him out of the international cricket told that he was not ready both in physically and mentally to tour South Africa to play the series.
Shakib, also mentioning his off-form in the recent time told at the Airport, “To me, during Afghanistan tour in Bangladesh I was simply like a passenger, what I never want to be. I really did not at all enjoy the full series – One-day and T20. So I think with such a mental distressed it will not wise to play the series in South Africa.”
“Moreover, if I would not accomplish my expectation and would not play in accordance with the belief that the people expect from me, that would be very miserable, it would be like a cheat with my team-mate,” Shakib added.
Interestingly the prolific all-rounder did not told for once that he would not go or will go, so such an uncertainty with a key player like Shakib’s inclusion in the squad will create an awkward situation.
In fact Shakib, announced his unavailability in the international affairs thereafter the IPL Auction when the best all-rounder of the world did not get any team, as the franchises, thinking if they would get him due to his international commitment (Bangladesh tour of South Africa and Sri Lanka).
But now the most valuable player for Bangladesh team himself very much confused when he is yet to confirm whether he would go in South Africa or not, which is very much hurtful for the whole team.
