The results of Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) and its equivalent examinations 2008 under nine education boards were published yesterday and understandably there was some curiosity in the cricket arena after the announcement.
Shakib Al Hasan, who opted out of the Kitply Cup at home and the Asia Cup in Pakistan to complete the examination, passed by scoring 3.90.
Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful who along with all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and Aftab Ahmed also appeared in this year's exam. Aftab however failed to complete the examination due to finger injury during practice.
It was however not possible to confirm the result of Ashraful, who flew to England yesterday to take a break from cricket after his captaincy and place came under scanner following his dismal show in Australia.
Ashraful's family members could not also inform his results.
