Jumbangla Desk: Everything was going well. Shakib Al Hasan was included in the squad for the first Test against South Africa. The best ever cricketer in the history of the country left to play the farewell test. But the government advised Shakib not to come to the country for security reasons while in transit in Dubai. Shakib is not playing in Mirpur, that's for sure. During these times, this experienced cricketer gave such a message in a video, about which the situation is noisy.

Shakib was supposed to catch a flight to Bangladesh on Thursday afternoon. But on this day there was a protest against not playing him at Mirpur Stadium. A group of agitators called 'Mirpurer Chhatrajanata' submitted a memorandum to BCB demanding Shakib's removal from the team. They also threatened to announce programs like blockade and hartal if not removed.

Shakib is not supposed to be in a good mental state in such a situation. He is not able to return to his country, he is not able to play in the farewell test. Meanwhile, the message given by him in the video is just as surprising. Shakib's team Bangla Tigers in the Abu Dhabi T-Ten League posted a video from their official Facebook page. Whereas Shakib's message is, love it or hate it; He doesn't care. But no one should play with him.

Only Shakib is shown in the video. Shakib says, my life, my rules, my style, my behavior. Love me or hate me, I don't care. But don't play with me.

The franchise has not clarified whether this video posted 2 hours ago is part of any promotion of Bengal Tigers. The caption of the post also mentions Shakib.

Shakib was assured of maximum security to play the last Test at home. But due to the protests, the government has discouraged Shakib from coming to the country for the sake of his safety. The youth and sports adviser said that the BCB had to be advised to discourage (Shakib) from playing in the country for the time being to avoid any untoward situation in the series between South Africa and Bangladesh. This decision has to be taken as an urgent measure to protect the image of the country in the international sports arena along with the safety of the players.

Shakib announced his Test retirement during the tour of India. Despite announcing abroad, this experienced all-rounder of the country expressed his desire to retire from home ground. However, he wanted security assurance to play on the country's soil. Besides, Shakib also wants assurance of leaving the country smoothly. He was elected from Magura-1 seat as the nominated candidate of Awami League last January. Shakib's name came up in the murder case of Garment worker Rubel, who was killed in the student movement last August, he was accused number 28. He has been criticized for a long time because of his silent role in the student movement.
