Captain Najamul Hussain Shanto has said he owes his side’s first Test win against Pakistan on Sunday to the hundreds of people killed during protests against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s rule.
All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who has been accused of murdering a shopkeeper who was killed during the protests, played an important role in this historic victory by taking three wickets in the second innings.
After weeks of student-led protests in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina fled to India by helicopter on August 5, ending her 15-year autocratic rule. After the collapse of his government, Shakib-ul-Hasan also lost his membership of Parliament.
Shakib, 37, who “lost his seat as a lawmaker from Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party, is a great asset to our country,” Najamul Hussain Shanto wrote in a Facebook post on Monday night.
Shantu further wrote that ‘Shakib has been shining the name of Bangladesh in the world for 17 years.’
