Shakib has not returned home following public anger
DHAKA - The absence of Shakib Al Hasan has come as a relief to South Africa as they embark on a two-test series in Bangladesh but stand-in captain Aiden Markram does not expect the challenge to be any easier.
Shakib, 37, was a member of parliament for the Awami League led by Sheikh Hasina, whose 15-year rule as prime minister ended in August with her fleeing to India. "Shakib is a world-class player and he’s proved it over many years. So it’s a bit of relief that we don’t have to come across him," Markram told a press conference on Sunday ahead of the opening test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
South Africa were more focused on the expected spin challenge as they look to end a run of 14 tests without a win in Indian sub-continental countries.
