Not The First Controversy Involving Shakib Al Hasan

Notably, the neck-grabbing incident is not the first controversy involving Shakib Al Hasan. He has been involved in multiple such incidents. Once upset by an umpire's decision, the veteran of close to 250 ODIs, over 100 ODIs and more than 60 Test matches, kicked at the stumps and even uprooted them despite the umpire's decision being final. The southpaw is the country's top-ranked all-rounder in T20Is, second-ranked all-rounder in ODIs and third in Test matches.

Shakib led Bangladesh in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 in India. He is likely to be a key member of the T20 World Cup 2024 squad which has not yet been announced by Bangladesh.
