Veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan on Friday responded to the criticism from former India cricketer Virender Sehwag after leading the Asian side to a 25-run win against the Netherlands at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown in St Vincent. Shakib scored a match-winning knock of an unbeaten 46-ball 64 to help Bangladesh inch closer to securing a berth in the Super Eight stage of the T2O World Cup from Group D.
The 37-year-old had a forgettable start to the T20 World Cup. He failed to pick up wickets in matches against Sri Lanka and South Africa while scoring just eight and three runs, respectively. Sehwag lashed out at the senior cricketer, saying that Shakib should be ashamed of his performance and rather retire from the sport.
You are such an experienced player, you have been captain before, but your stats are such. You should feel ashamed of yourself and just declare that you are retiring from the T20 format,” Sehwag had told Cricbuzz after Bangladesh’s four-run loss to the Proteas in New York on Monday.
