Bangla Tigers has announced Shakib Al Hasan, the poster boy of Bangladesh National Team as the Icon player and captain for the upcoming season of the Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League 2022-23 held in November 2022 as per tentative schedule.
Bangla Tigers management is very delighted to have Shakib al Hasan in the squad. In fact, inclusion of world’s no. 01 all-rounder and existing captain of Bangladesh national team Shakib al Hasan will definitely strengthen the squad of Bangla Tigers. After signing the contract, Shakib Al Hasan said, “it will be my very first season in the latest format of cricket and I am excited to join the Bangla Tigers. I love to face new challenges and this tournament is a new challenge for me. Hope I’ll succeed over this challenge and make a new history for Bangla tigers”.
Shakib al Hasan is undoubtedly the biggest blessing of Bangladesh National Team. When the annals of Bangladesh cricket are sifted by future generations, Shakib Al Hasan will emerge and re-emerge as the greatest cricketer of its first two decades. As a bowler, Shakib is accurate, consistent and canny; aggression and a wide range of strokes are the keys to his batting. Even more importantly, he has self-belief and an excellent temperament, unflustered by the big occasion and ready to do battle against the top teams. Shakib Al Hasan is such a rarest all-rounder who acts as the strike bowler and strike batsman for his team.
Franchisee Owner Mohammad Yasin Chowdhury said, “Bangla Tigers may be ungratified except Tiger Shakib, he is not only just a player, but also the symbol of Bangladesh cricket. We were keen to include him in the squad from our very 1st mission but due to the intense busy schedule of the national team, we weren’t able to pick him. He is a dynamic, experienced, dedicated, passionate and motivational player and captain as well, who will lead the cricketers with the fighting spirit and be able to maintain a positive approach even at the crucial stage of the game.
We are very thrilled to have Shakib Al Hasan as our Icon Player. He is the born leader; we hope he will definitely do what he has done for the Bangladesh national team and various franchisee leagues. His conscription will undoubtedly enlighten the performance of our players and assist us to conquer the title in the upcoming season as well.
