Abu Choudhury, writing for BanglaCricket.com, examines Shakib Al Hasan's fall from grace. There is not much you could fault the former Bangladesh captain with for his on-field performances, says Choudhury, but off it he was asking for trouble.
There will be those who condemn this as a grotesque overreaction by the BCB to a lacklustre tour. Such a conclusion, however, is misleading and ignores a pattern of poor behaviour by both the captain and his deputy. Shakib’s fall from grace is in fact the culmination of a series of acts by the Bangladesh skipper which could at best be described as naïve and at worst considered wilfully arrogant.
