Shakib now ‘free’ after ‘banning’

A year has passed on the clock. Today (Thursday) October 29, 2020. The prohibition imposed by the ICC has expired. Absolutely desired release matched. Bangladesh’s all-star off-roader Shakib Al Hasan has no bar to get back on the field and officially start all kinds of cricket activities.

On this day last year, Shakib was banned from all forms of cricket for two years, including a one-year suspension. He was then the test captain and T20 of Bangladesh. Shakib also accepted the sentence, admitting his responsibility before the anti-corruption unit of the ICC.

Bangladesh’s biggest cricket star was punished for failing to report to the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) despite three offers from matchmaker Deepak Agarwal.

According to the rules of the ICC, the highest governing body of international cricket, the penalty for the following year can be avoided if a new offense is not committed during the first year ban. Then after a year, the ban on Shakib was lifted.

Shakib’s ban was announced a few days before he left for a full tour of India for the first time in Bangladesh. Naturally, this was a huge blow to the country’s cricket. Needless to say, this is by far the most horrific incident in Bangladeshi cricket.

An hour after the sentencing, the Chairman of the Board, Nazmul Hasan Papon, arrived at the office of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) with Shakib. Expressing surprise and frustration, he said: ‘We are shocked. There can be nothing more shocking than this … Our important series ahead. India is going to play Tests (teams) and the Test Championship is also starting. Everything is planned except around Shakib.

However, on the same day, many cricket fans were seen protesting in front of the BCB office in Mirpur. They also commented that Shakib was a ‘conspiracy victim’.

Later, in an interview with Indian commentator Hersha Vogel, the star left-arm cricketer, however, said that he could have been punished more severely. I could have been. ‘

Bangladesh had a very busy schedule this year. In addition to many bilateral series at home and abroad, there was the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup. Apart from Shakib, there were many discussions, concerns and anxieties about how Bangladesh stands in these. But almost everything has been put on hold due to the global coronavirus pandemic.

Shakib has completely missed only two bilateral series (India tour and Zimbabwe series). He will not be able to play in the first two Twenty20 series and a Test against Pakistan, but he will be able to play in the third Test and ODI in the third round.

Bangladesh without Shakib has been defeated on the tour of India and Pakistan even though they have left weak Zimbabwe on its own soil. The Tigers were able to fight despite losing the T20 series in India last November. But the performance of the two tests waned. Then in January-February, Bangladesh didn’t receive any balls in Pakistan except Shakib.

Shakib became the father of a second daughter during prohibition. So he spent a lot of time with his family in the United States. He returned to the country on September 2 after more than five months. He then started practicing at BKSP starting on September 5.

Shakib has been banned from using the BCB facilities during the ban. So he chose BKSP. In addition, Bangladesh was scheduled to tour Sri Lanka at the end of last month as part of the World Trials Championship. Shakib also had the opportunity to return to cricket with the second test of the series.

However, the Lankans did not agree to reduce the quarantine time according to the demand from Bangladesh. As a result, the tour of Lanka was postponed in the second phase. After this decision, Shakib flew back to the United States earlier this month. He is scheduled to return early next month when his sentence ends.

Following the President’s Cup, the BCB has set a possible date to host the five-team T20 tournament in November. And Shakib returns to the field with this event. The chairman of the board said: ‘Shakib will come. I’m done talking to him. Shakib arrives on the 10th. He will play in this tournament, it has been confirmed. In this, your team will also become. You will practice with your team.

From the beginning, teammates, coaches, selectors, cricket management, millions of fans across the country are waiting to see the brilliance of Shakib’s bat and ball. However, after a long year, Russell Domingo doesn’t expect him to play again.

The coach of the Bangladesh national cricket team advised everyone to be patient: “Shakib is like many other players. Those who need to play cricket before getting used to it. So if you think he will come back great and perform a miraculous performance, then you have to be patient. ‘
