After leading his side in the Australia T20 World Cup, Bangladesh T20 captain Shakib Al Hasan will likely head to Qatar to watch Lionel Messi and Co in action during the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

The ace all-rounder bought two tickets of Argentina's second group-stage game against Mexico, slated for November 27, from the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) who were allocated 290 World Cup tickets by FIFA, football's governing body.

"As a member, BFF receives 290 tickets from FIFA. These are distributed among current national players, former players, clubs, sponsors, other sporting bodies,'' Abu Naeem Sohag, the BFF general secretary, told The Daily Star today.

Shakib, however, had asked for four tickets, informed the BFF general secretary.

"Shakib asked us for four tickets, but we gave him two tickets. Both tickets are for the Argentina-Mexico match," Sohag said.

The Shakib-led Bangladesh side are currently in Australia for their T20 World Cup assignment.
