Real shame, if that happens to be the case, as he really could be the first ATG from Bangladesh in Tests and ODI's.”
he should be ok since in bangladesh home cricket season their isn't much clashes with leagues and bangladesh don't play away cricket.
Think the only clash is country cricket but counties do sign players for 5-6 games etc.
think shakib asked for more cricket and not money, think money terms bangladesh players are quite happy right now.
By the way surely Shakib al hasan is bangladesh first all time great.
what more do you want a batsman averaging 40, their best by a mile and averages 33 with the ball and was their best bowler around 2007-2011 period.
he is the kallis of bangladesh cricket.
forget to add this to the mustafizur rahman comment, apparently heard he has flexible wrist which is why he can bowl quick leg breaks and has incredible wrist position if the kid ever learns swing he will be a deadly test bowler since he does have the ability to be a great bowler.
heard someone comparing him to Muralitharan so a very unique cricketer indeed.
