Shakib Retirement Row deepens as BCB denies the power to provide ‘secure passage’ for Shakib to retire and leave Bangladesh.
Shakib Retirement Row: BCB Dismisses Secure Passage Request by Star All-Rounder
The Shakib al hasan Retirement Row has sparked controversy after Shakib Al Hasan publicly announced his intention to retire from Test cricket and T20Is if granted a ‘secure passage’ to leave the country. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), however, quickly distanced itself from the request, stating that it lacks the authority to provide any such assurances. The Shakib Retirement Row has put the spotlight on the cricketer’s future and his strained relationship with the board.
BCB’s Response to Shakib Retirement: “We Can Only Request”
The BCB president, Faruque Ahmed, addressed the Shakib Retirement Row by stating that while the board can request government intervention, it does not have the power to guarantee security. “We are a sports governing body and don’t have the power to give any sort of security assurances to anyone,” Ahmed said. “It’s up to the interim government to decide. At most, we can ask them to consider it, but we can’t promise anything.”
Uncertain Future Amid Board-Player Tensions
As the Shakib Retirement Row continues to develop, questions remain about Shakib’s future and whether his request will receive any government consideration. With tensions escalating, this row is poised to have long-term implications for the star cricketer’s career and his relationship with the BCB.
