He is very angry about Shakib. He also said that he is no longer afraid to play without Shakib. And it’s time to take strong action against the seniors, “he said.
Even then, Khaled Mahmud Sujan did not make a mistake in expressing sympathy to Shakib in the crowd of many words. He is reluctant to say the last word after all. And so Team Bangladesh director is not in favor of making Shakib stand on the fence.
‘We don’t have to make him (Sakib) stand on the fence. He has done a lot for the national team, for the country. He must have something to say. ‘
Sujan explains that the media is certainly not the ideal platform for such conversations. We have to talk according to the rules and principles. With board officials and concerned. So Sujan said, ‘Actually speaking, it will be revealed. Maybe he needs a break. There are fatigues. No other cricketer plays more cricket like Shakib in the country and abroad. So let’s wait a bit without saying so much. ‘
Sujan used the name ‘Panch Pandab’ and said, ‘Since Mashrafe is no more, I told him not to. But Shakib, Riyadh, Mushfiqur, Tamim – they have come up from the pipeline of Bangladesh cricket since childhood. Bangladesh cricket has a lot of capital behind them. So we can ask them for their reward. This is not someone’s personal team, this is Bangladesh team. There should be joy after this jersey. ‘
‘Players are much more tired and exhausted because of the long game and the bio-safety zone. It also puts more pressure. ‘
That’s why Sujan said to think a little differently without thinking straight. ‘So if we don’t think that way, if we think a little straight, a cricketer can ask for leave. But the thing is, the letter gave a break. After that Papon talked to his brother and wanted to play in Tests and ODIs. Then again I did not understand why the change. Shakib can say that. I can no longer speak his mind. It would be better to accept what will come without actually dragging it out. Shakib will come, come and talk. It’s better if he doesn’t want to go, otherwise he has to think that way. It’s not a big deal. The point is, the Bangladesh team will not sit still for anyone. ‘
Sujan admits seniors are still the driving force behind the team. Very important cricketer. But the hard truth is, “After two or three years, we have to play without them.”
