Former captain apologized for the silence adopted during the students' protest


Dhaka: Former Bangladesh cricket team captain Shakib Al Hasan apologized months later for his silence during the student protests in July.
Shakib Al Hasan was a Member of Parliament during the Awami League regime and remained silent during the protests in July.
The cricketer was playing the league in Canada during the protests, after which he moved to the US, and then joined Pakistan and India for series. He is also named in the murder case and still has not returned to Bangladesh.
However, now the former captain apologized for the silence adopted during the students' protest in a social media message and appealed for support at home ground in his last Test match.
Shakib wrote in a statement on social media that those who were martyred and injured during the student movement are respectable to him. ‘I would be upset if I were you, I am playing the last match where I want to say goodbye to all of you, I want to shake hands with my fans on the occasion’.
It is pertinent to note that Shakib Al Hasan announced his retirement from Test cricket last month but expressed his desire to play the last Test against South Africa at his home ground.
The Test between South Africa and Bangladesh is scheduled to start from October 21 in Dhaka.
