Shakib to return home tonight

The Bangladesh national cricket team is now in New Zealand to play three ODIs and a T20. Tamim Iqbal's team was devastated in the first ODI of the tour. Tuesday will be the second ODI in the series.

But the focus of all cricket fans in the country is now more on Shakib Al Hasan than on this series. Shakib made all the explosive comments on a Facebook live on Saturday night. In the context of which, various discussions are going on from the general cricket fans to the officials of the cricket board.

In the meantime, a new announcement showed up. The world's best all-rounder is returning to the country leaving the issue of Shakib and the board unresolved. He is expected to return alone.

Today (Monday) Shakib Al Hasan will land in Bangladesh on a Qatar Airways flight from the United States at 2 am Bangladesh time. The news was reported by Wasim Khan, who is in charge of welcoming and taking care of the cricket-related personalities of the country at the airport.

Shakib went to America with his mother on February 21 to be by the side of his child-bearing wife. Last Tuesday morning, the Shakib-Shishir couple was blessed with a baby boy. Shakib is returning to the country on an emergency basis before the newborn reaches the age of seven days.
