Just the day after achieving yet another milestone of scoring seven thousand ODI runs where Shakib scored a magnificent 93 run knock that helped Bangladesh to register their biggest win in ODIs over Ireland—the champion all-rounder was seen attending the convocation today

BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus confirmed the news to the media as the two cricketers are willing to take a leave from the only Test against Ireland scheduled on April 4 in Mirpur.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) backs Shakib Al Hasan after the ace cricketer returned to the midst of controversy following his visit to Dubai to attend a jewellery brand launch last week.

Two wickets in back-to-back overs from Shakib Al Hasan and Ebadot Hossain have left Ireland with an even bigger mountain to climb after the visitors cautiously begun their chase of a daunting 338 in the first ODI of the three-match series between Bangladesh and Ireland at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

In overcast conditions mimicking the ‘English weather’, the Tigers went about their practice session at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium yesterday with individuals looking to build on the confidence from the England series as they geared up for the ODI series against Ireland, slated to begin today.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is unwilling to comment on the ongoing controversy surrounding Shakib Al Hasan after the premier all-rounder went Dubai alongside some other celebrities for the inauguration of Arav Jewellers, owned by Arav Khan, on Wednesday.

There are two ways to bring back the accused. One is through a cooperation between India and the UAE authorities, and the other through coordinated efforts by Interpol.

Bangladesh Test and T20I skipper Shakib Al Hasan joined the Tigers training camp in Sylhet on Friday, a day before the three-match ODI series against Ireland commences at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

It was not what was expected from a newly-built team, but the Tigers pulled off the unlikely feat of a 3-0 T20I series clean sweep against T20I world champions England with a 16-run victory at Mirpur in the third and final match yesterday.

England’s World Cup-winning skipper Jos Buttler admitted that his side were ‘outplayed’ in the three-match T20I series, in which the visitors were whitewashed by hosts Bangladesh.   

Bangladesh T20I and Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan admitted that one particular over from Mustafizur Rahman ‘changed the game completely’ as he talked following the Tigers’ 16-run victory in the third T20I against England at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today. 

The last time the current world champions suffered a series whitewash in this format were in 2014 when they lost 3-0 against Australia. Bangladesh, on the other hand, enjoyed a first three-match series sweep in this format for the first time since doing the same against Ireland in 2012. 

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan lauded the team's effort after Bangladesh registered a historic maiden T20I series win over the world champions England by beating the visitors by four wickets in the second of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday. 

Bangladesh became the only team ever to have beaten a reigning world champion in their first assignment of that particular format since the World Cup as the Shakib Al Hasan-led side clinched the three-match T20I series, with a game in hand, against the ODI and T20 World Champions England on Sunday.

With the Sher-e-Bangla surface offering a lot of grip and turn for the slower bowlers, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, in for Shamim Patwary for this match, turned the screws on England with his best figures of four for 12.
