When the first match between Bangladesh-Afghanistan series to go underway, the most valuable player of Bangladesh team looked very much cynical, as it is seemed that the key all-rounder is not mentally ease.
Shakib Al Hassan, not for Bangladesh team but all, whenever plays for any team anywhere in the world cherished as the best player and the most dependable player of that very team, Shakib, eventually proved it for so many occasions in so many tournaments playing the key role as the match winner.
If we have glance to recently concluded Bangabandhu BPL, Shakib was the captain of Fortune Barisal and led the team from front to storm into the final as the top team.
Shakib’s team obtained highest 15 points at the group stage winning seven matches out of 10 when the most celebrating all-rounder was adjudged man of the match in five matches, even received the prize of man of the series, despite his team lost in the final.
However, now it has turned into doubtful to many of cricket fans and cricket evaluators that whether Shakib would be appear with the best of his ability and temperament he displayed in previous occasions, even in the most of the games in the BPL.
Actually, the reason of apprehension have been taking shape after Shakib’s feeble show in the last two matches including the final of the BPL. Shakib could score only one run in the qualifiers and did not get any wicket and in the final, he scored seven runs when he managed one wicket conceding 30 runs. All was happened just after the conclusion of the IPL auction where Shakib was unsold despite being valued for two crores Rupees.
Shakib played almost all premier T20 franchisees across the world including IPL, Big Bash, CPL, PSL with reputation. In the IPL, like Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrises Hyderabad.
However, this time he was overlooked by the IPL team and having no teams might be disheartened Shakib and could not keep his cool and struggled in the last two matches of the BPL 2022.
If the most talented cricketer of Bangladesh team would not get his pick against upcoming series against Afghanistan, it would be big headache for all concerns are involving with cricket.
