Shakib's Arrival Not In Our Control, We've To Focus On Test Series: Shanto
Najmul Hossain Shanto: Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said Shakib Al Hasan's arrival for the Test series against South Africa was not in their control despite plans of giving him a memorable farewell in the series. He emphasised that the team is focusing on getting a winning start in the series.
Shakib had to defer his return to Dhaka due to ongoing protests in the city against him despite being named in the squad for the first Test. He was replaced by uncapped left-arm spinner Hasan Murad in the squad.
"It is unfortunate. It should have happened. But we can't spend too much time talking about it on the day before the Test match. (Shakib's arrival) is not in our control, so we are not spending too much time thinking about it. We have to focus on the two important Tests and that's what the players are doing. We had plans to send off one of the world's best players. All of us personally feel that it remains pending," Shanto said before the start of the first Test on Monday.
