Shakib al hasan
Shakib Al Hasan: Bangladesh team could not perform well in the ODI World Cup 2023. The team won only 2 out of 9 matches. The team qualified for the Champions Trophy by finishing eighth. Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan also did not perform well. He was a flop with ball and bat. During the ODI World Cup 2023, he got injured in the match against Sri Lanka. After this he did not play the last match of the World Cup. Currently, he is recovering from the injury, but it is not yet clear when he will return.
Shakib Al Hasan will contest elections
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan will contest the country’s 12th parliamentary election after receiving confirmation of his nomination from the ruling Awami League, reports ESPNcricinfo. He will contest from Magura-1 constituency, where polling is scheduled on January 7. But cricket duty may come in the way of his decision to contest the elections. Because Bangladesh team will play two home test matches against New Zealand from 28 November to 10 December. After this, Bangladesh team will tour New Zealand from 11 to 31 December. Even before the World Cup, Shakib had said that he will remain the captain of the T20 team. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he leaves the election campaign and visits New Zealand or not. Bangladesh has to play three T20 matches against New Zealand.
