Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan won’t change because the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is incapable of changing him. Shakib has crossed the line many times in the past and the BCB has bent its rules to accommodate him. The all-rounder was outbursted at the umpires for the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) T20 game between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Abahani Limited.
Shakib will serve a three-match ban and pay a Taka 500,000 which is a 5,800 US dollars fine. In an ongoing match, he lost his temper with the officials. He kicked at the stumps when his lbw appeal was rejected by Imran Parvez. After that Mahfuzur signalled for the covers to be brought as it was raining and he rushed towards the umpire and ripped out the stumps.
This incident was, however, a strain darker than before. The footage that has been viewed by everyone relevant is enough to suggest that Shakib has little regard for the game and officials. It is also noticed that punishments and penalties do not affect Shakib. It has reached such a stage. This might not be the last time Shakib crossed the line. Shakib was first suspended in 2014 when he had made inappropriate gestures when the TV camera panned towards the Bangladesh dressing room during an ODI against Sri Lanka. He also had threatened to quit international cricket and also misbehaved with head coach Chandika Hathurusingha.
