Two days ago, a viral video captured Shakib seated on a stage as fans approached him for selfies. While he accepted their requests, there was a lack of enthusiasm on his face, suggesting that he may not have been too pleased with the constant selfie interruptions.
Shakiba secured a parliament seat in an election where he made a victory. The 36-year-old allrounder has triumphed over his competitor with an astonishing lead of 1,50,000 in the Magura Constituency as confirmed by Abu Naser Beg, the district’s chief administrator.
He was the candidate from the ruling Awami League party, and his success was anticipated especially with the main opposition, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) choosing to boycott the election.
It is expected that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will secure a fifth term in power. Shakib acknowledged the absence of serious obstacles but admitted that he had felt anxious about the competition.
He emphasized the perpetual challenges, likening them to those faced in cricket, regardless of the team’s size.
“The competition and challenges are always there, be it a small team or big team,” he remarked.
The player has temporarily stepped away from cricket as he is concerned about his ability to balance both roles. He was questioned about skipping his cricket career and he queried back “Did I retire? If I haven’t retired, then where does this question come from?”
Shakib’s excellence extends beyond politics, as he is the only individual to concurrently hold the number one all-rounder ranking in all three cricket formats.
His journey began after he joined the country’s premier sports academy when he made his debut in an international career at the age of 19 as a batting allrounder in the year 2006.
In 2007, he smashed a fifty against India in the World Cup, where Bangladesh had a victory. Shakib has a good reputation for occasional ill-discipline which marked a controversial moment after threatening a spectator with a bat which earned him a three-match ban.
He made his last appearance on the 38th match of the World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka where he scored 82 runs and dismissed two batters through his bowling.
Bangladesh will be playing their next match against Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup 2024 on June 08 at Grand Prairie Stadium.
