Sports Desk: The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 11th Season Players Draft will be held in just a few days. However, it is still not sure whether the country's best cricketer Shakib Al Hasan will be able to play in this tournament. As a result, Rangpur Riders could not take any decision about this all-rounder.

Rangpur team director Shahnian Tanim spoke about Shakib after meeting the media on Saturday (October 5) at BCB.

Tanim said, Shakib is the greatest cricketer of Bangladesh, there is no doubt about it. Doubt about its availability. I don't have it. Depending on whether he comes to play against South Africa or not, here is actually a bigger picture that might come to play in the BPL later. It will depend on his condition whether I can keep it or not.

He said, I personally want to say that I know Shakib as a cricketer. I don't even know him as a politician and I have no idea what he does in his personal life or business. If I want to see a statue of cricketer Shakib personally, it is not possible.

He also said about Shakib's BPL game, cricket management said, fan said, I am sure there is no person in Bangladesh who does not want Shakib to play BPL. We want it too. Be it our franchise, be it another franchise, be it for BPL, be it for Bangladesh; Shakib Al Hasan is always an asset.

Shakib announced his retirement from T20 and Test cricket before taking to the field in the recently concluded Kanpur Test. He wants to say goodbye to red ball cricket with the Mirpur Test.

This all-rounder wants to say goodbye to red ball cricket after playing the Mirpur Test against South Africa this month. But being a former member of parliament of Awami League, there are fears about Shakib's return to the country.

So Shakib has sought security from BCB and the government. If there is a chance, he wants to play the last Test of his career on the soil of the country, said this cricketer. He also gave some conditions to BCB for that.

Basically, he asked for the assurance of his safety in the country and not to face any complications while leaving the country. But the issue of Shakib's safety is not in the hands of BCB only, Board President Farooq Ahmed said. As a result, Shakib may not return to the country if he does not get adequate security assurance from the interim government.

As a result, Shakib's decision to participate in the BPL is mixed with the South Africa series. In the end, if the country does not get the green signal of hope, this country's best cricketer will not be seen in the upcoming BPL.
