The question was raised after Bangladesh’s last World Twenty20 match against Pakistan in Adelaide in 2022. Will Shakib Al Hasan play another T20 World Cup? USA and West Indies are the destinations for T20 World Cup in 2024. Jokingly, one said, ‘Sakib’s second home! How can you miss?’ Just for fun but if taken as a prophecy then he is ten out of ten.
One of the best all-rounders in the world is looking forward to playing another T20 World Cup. Age has increased. Increased recognition. The busyness and responsibility have increased even more. All in all, the situation is like drawing conclusions about Shakib in this format. But it is proved once again that no conclusion can be drawn about Shakib.
The journey of T20 World Cup started in South Africa in 2007. Crossing various paths, various thrills, excitement, molecules are waiting for the curtain of the ninth season to rise.
BCB announced the 15-member squad for the World Cup on Tuesday. Shakib, who continues to play cricket despite his busy schedules, is looking forward to playing in his ninth T20 World Cup. As the only cricketer of Bangladesh, Shakib reached a unique milestone. This superstar of Bangladesh is the only cricketer who has played in every T20 World Cup.
Very few players in the world of cricket have such an achievement. India’s Rohit Sharma and Shakib have so far survived on the global stage.
Shakib appeared in Bangladesh cricket in 2006. He and Mushfiqur were in Bangladesh’s first T20 team against Zimbabwe in 2006. Mushfiqur quit T20 Internationals immediately after the 2022 Asia Cup. As a result, Shakib is the longest standing player. Last time Shakib was the team leader. This time he has to play under the leadership of Shanta.
Shakib’s personal achievement is the jewel of Toitumbur, despite Bangladesh’s lack of team success on the global stage. Scored 742 runs in 36 matches at an average of 23.93 in T20 World Cup. He got 47 wickets at an average of 18.63 in bowling. Shakib is untouchable in all-round skills.
A former captain of Bangladesh is among the two cricketers who have scored more than 500 runs and at least 30 wickets in the World Cup. Among the cricketers who continue to play, he is the one who reigns in this record. Retired former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi scored 546 runs. Got 39 wickets.
Shakib tops all bowling in World Cup. Shahid Afridi is second with 39 wickets after the left-arm spinner’s 47 wickets. Besides, Shakib’s position is after Rohit in the number of matches. Shakib played 36 matches. Rohit has played 39 matches in the final twice.
