It does not take issue to come to its title. Shakib Al Hasan is already a big star. Fans and supporters are always enthusiastic about him. Even then, sometimes his speech, behavior and various activities give rise to some kind of controversy. There is a lot of fuss about it.

This is how after the Eid holiday, Shakib returned home from the United States and caused a storm by saying two things. The first is that it is inhumane to host a 50-over Premier League under the open sky all day in a scorching heatwave. And the second was that the series against Zimbabwe could not be an ideal preparation for the T20 World Cup in any way.

However, Bangladesh team head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe disagrees with Shakib. In the official press conference today on Wednesday, the question was put to the Tiger coach – Shakib said that the game against Zimbabwe will not contribute effectively to the preparation of the World Cup. What do you think?

Hathuru said the opposite. His words, ‘I don’t think it’s right. I think playing matches is always a good preparation.

Bangladesh coach added, ‘T20 format is such that you can lose to any team on any day. It’s true, we may be stronger than our opponents Zimbabwe. Still I think the series against Zimbabwe is definitely helpful. Helpful in preparation.
