Interestingly, Shakib was not in Bangladesh during the protests, as he was in Canada leading the Bangla Tigers Mississauga in the Global T20 Canada league.

Shakib’s ties to the political landscape are notable, as he had been elected to parliament from his hometown of Magura earlier this year. Following the regime change, the Bangladesh Cricket Board underwent significant changes, with former captain Faruque Ahmed assuming the presidency.
