New Delhi. The condition of the team which returned home to Bangladesh after losing all the matches against India is bad. Team Bangladesh is surrounded by issues ranging from poor play, discipline to security. The cricket board has dismissed the team’s head coach Chandika Hathurasinghe. On the other hand, it has become difficult for Shakib Al Hasan, who had expressed his desire to play the farewell test at home, to return to Bangladesh.
Shakib Al Hasan had announced his retirement from Test cricket when he was on India tour. He had said that he would bid goodbye to this format by playing the last Test match against South Africa in Bangladesh. But the Bangladesh government has refused to guarantee their safety. Shakib is currently in Dubai but protests are taking place against him in Bangladesh.
