The Bangladesh national team is currently playing a series of Test matches against India, and significant events are unfolding around their captain, Shakib Al Hasan.

Details: He requested the government to guarantee his safety, and they have agreed to provide it. According to the country's sports advisor, Asif Mahmood, the authorities will assign security to Shakib during the matches in Dhaka due to his political stance.

Following protests in Bangladesh, dozens of ministers and lawmakers from the Awami League were arrested. During this time, the captain was participating in the T20 World Cup and maintained communication with the team while in Pakistan and India during the Test series.

However, Shakib remained silent during the student protests in July and August. During his first press conference after the World Cup, he avoided the topic when asked about his views on the political changes.

Reminder: Significant rule changes are being prepared in the Indian Premier League, which will affect all players.
