Shakib Al Hasan has been banned for six months from taking part in any competitive cricket for breaching rules. No doubt this is a harsh judgment on BCB's part. Shakib has been dubbed as the best all-rounder of the world and he should be given due respect that he rightly deserves. Banning him for six months will harm Bangladesh cricket more than it will harm the player.
We hope the authorities will lessen his punishment.
