Shakib Al Hasan has announced his retirement from cricket. However, it is not yet certain whether the Tiger all-rounder will return to the country to play the last Test. Shakib will play against South Africa in Mirpur only if he is assured of his security when he returns home. However, national team opener Imrul Kayes wants Shakib's farewell to be seen by the whole world.

Farewell to Shakib

Addressing the media in Mirpur on Sunday, Imrul said, 'A player like Shakib should be sent off in such a way that not only Bangladesh but the whole world sees that a legend has passed away. I think everyone wants it. You want it, I want it too. People of the country also want. But it doesn't seem to be for political protocol, I think the upper echelons are working on it. It may be resolved very soon.'

Imrul said about the departure of players from the field, 'As a player, I think we should have a trend or should have a graceful departure of a legendary cricketer. But we didn't see anyone. I have not seen Mashrafe Bhai. We have not seen as many players as before. This thing should be on.'

Claiming that Shakib has shown courage, Imrul said, 'You will retire, if you cannot show courage yourself, then what is the achievement of playing cricket for so many years brother. Shakib has shown his courage. told There is no courage here, this is professionalism. I saw Shakib's press conference. He said, it will be better if someone new is given a chance in his place.'
