Trouble again... Shakib Al Hasan left the World Cup..!?
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan is out of the
world cup series due to injury the next day after being involved in a huge controversy in the
world cup series. Some fans think it's because of the injury. Or did he withdraw due to controversy? They are raising doubts. However, the information received from the team management is that Shakib Al Hasan is really injured. There is also information that he is going to return to the country soon.
Angelo Mathews came late to the field when the Sri Lankan team was batting in the
world cup League match between
bangladesh and Sri Lanka. After that, Shakib Al Hasan called for a time-out as the rule allowed the new batsman to bat as he delayed further as his helmet was not right. The umpire gave him out. Usually, it is out as per rule but opponents will not ask for delay but out for such legitimate reasons. But a huge controversy erupted when Shakib Al Hasan was called out. While some said Mathews was wrong, others criticized him for not asking Shakib Al Hasan out. After this incident, many verbal clashes took place between the Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi players. Sri Lankan players did not come to shake hands after the match.
In this situation, the day after that, Shakib Al Hasan was reported to withdraw from the
world cup series. He injured his left index finger while batting in that match. After playing in pain, he underwent a scan after the match and it was confirmed that he had a broken bone. After this, he is going to return to
bangladesh soon.
bangladesh will next face
australia in the
world cup series. With the match set to take place on
november 11, captain Shakib Al Hasan is set to walk away from the team.
bangladesh is already struggling to secure a place in the Champions Trophy series by reaching the top eight places in the points table. Part of that was the need to defeat
sri lanka and beat a strong
australia team in the final match. In this situation, the loss of Shakib has caused problems for the team again. Not only that,
bangladesh will next play the first Test against
new zealand on
november 27. Shakib Al Hasan's injury will take three to four weeks to recover and he is expected to return to the country soon to be fit for the start of the Test series. Sources of the
bangladesh team say that he will be treated there to recover from this injury.
