NEW DELHI: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced that Shakib Al Hasan, the veteran all-rounder, will continue to play and represent Bangladesh until proven guilty, despite his involvement in a First Information Report (FIR) related to a murder case amid recent unrest. This decision comes following a legal notice demanding his immediate removal from all forms of cricket.
Initially, BCB officials had suggested that a decision regarding Shakib's future participation would be made after the opening Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi. However, the situation escalated legally when Shajib Mahmood Alam, a lawyer from the Supreme Court, on behalf of Advocate Md Rafinur Rahman, sent a legal notice to the BCB.
