BCB to stand by Shakib: PM
I have nothing to do much with it, ICC will decide about Shakib, she said
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will support Shakib Al Hasan as they did always.
"International Cricket Council will decide about Shakib Al Hasan, I have nothing to do much with it," she said while briefing media at Ganobhaban on her just concluded Azerbaijan tour for attending the 18th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
