Shakib Al Hasan was replaced as captain of Bangladesh by Najmul Hussain Shanto for the ODI World Cup match. Shanto chose to bat first after taking the toss and winning it. Shanto revealed that he is battling an ailment and explained the veteran all-rounder Shakib’s absence by calling him “struggling a bit.” Nasum Ahmed has been appointed as his substitute.
Cricket fans are more excited than ever about this unexpected change of events, anxious to learn more about Shakib’s health and how Bangladesh will manage without him. Bangladesh faces additional difficulties as a result of Taskin Ahmed’s noticeable absence. Alongside Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin was an important bowler who had the potential to be a formidable threat with the new ball. Hasan Mahmud, however, replaced Taskin as a result of Bangladesh’s calculated move, which caused controversy within the cricket community.
Shakib’s injury was so bad that he had to watch the match against India from the sidelines. He suffered the injury in a prior match against New Zealand during the ODI World Cup 2023. The tough all-around player had injured his left quadriceps, but he had bravely continued. In spite of this, the captain showed incredible tenacity by assembling a 51-ball 40 at bat. Moreover, the 36-year-old bravely bowled out Kiwi opener Devon Conway after using up his entire allotment of ten overs.
Running made him clearly uncomfortable, and he was noticeably missing from the post-match award ceremony, which highlighted the seriousness of his injuries and his unwavering dedication to the game. Chandika Hathurusingha, the head coach of Bangladesh, made it clear that the outstanding all-round player would only play in the World Cup match against India if he was fully fit again.
So, this was all about the cricketer Rohit Sharma. Also read, Fans reaction: Cricketer KL Rahul denies taking singles.
