Jumbangla Desk: Shakib Al Hasan's international career has stopped suddenly. Could not play in South Africa series, withdrew from Afghanistan series.
However, Shakib is giving this time to Abu Dhabi T-Ten League team Bangla Tigers. He gave several interviews through the social media there.
Recently in an interview he talked about some unfortunate people of Bangladesh. The question was asked who are such cricketers in Bangladesh? In response, Shakib said, 'There are many other players like Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Imrul Kayes. This is actually a lot... It can be well answered by the selectors. There are a lot of players who are unlucky, get along with the ones you named — there are a lot of players whose careers were much shorter, maybe they could have done better.'
Shakib also gave the answer to why he is unfortunate. He said, 'All players do not get equal opportunities. Some more, some less. That's actually the game. That is you have to select 15 people, then 11 people. Those who get opportunities from there actually have a responsibility to perform. Some may say, some have less opportunities. As it happens, not everyone actually gets a chance. It is not possible to give it.'
It's not unusual for something like that to happen, he believes. Shakib's words, 'Your team, you are running the team, you can't trust everyone in one way, you can't even give a chance in one way. Some will feel after one match, no it won't feel like it. He will not be able to see anyone again. This is actually the case. It's nothing wrong.'
But whenever the opportunity comes, you have to match yourself, believes Shakib, 'which is happening, some will get less opportunity and some will get more opportunity. For the one who is getting less, that is enough opportunity, for the one who is getting more, that is enough. How can a player match his responsibility from there.'
