For over two decades, Shakib Khan has been a leading figure in the Dhallywood film industry. Recently, he has ventured into the world of cricket through his business enterprise, Remark-Herlan, which has acquired a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise named Dhaka Capitals.
While talking about Bangladesh cricket, many often lament that despite being a Test nation for around two-and-a-half decades, the country has failed to cultivate a domestic cricket culture. This assertion, however, is not quite true.
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed admitted that the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the country’s premier franchise T20 tournament, is yet to find solid ground after 10 seasons.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed on Thursday said ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is set to miss the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, starting on November 6, in the UAE owing to a lack of practice.
Faruque Ahmed was officially announced as the president of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on 21 August. Yet, just two months in, governance issues are already surfacing within the board. While former president Nazmul Hassan Papon ran operations like a one-man show, Faruque appears to be centralising operations similarly, as seen in skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto’s captaincy situation.
Shakib’s 17-year cricket career was marked by numerous controversies, and his farewell is no different.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday named a few Test cricketers in their four-day High Performance (HP) squad for the upcoming tour in Australia, keeping in mind their 2027 Future Tours Programme (FTP) schedule.
Bangladesh are all set to brace the Test challenge from next month after competing mostly in the T20 format for the last couple of months in the buildup to the T20 World Cup, which concluded on June 29 in the USA and West Indies.
BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury said: “We thank the PCB for confirming the schedule for Bangladesh's tour of Pakistan for the ICC World Test Championship matches. The series presents a significant test for us, but it is also a chance to showcase our progress in this format.”
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) reappointed Naveed Nawaz -- the ICC Under-19 World Cup winning coach with Bangladesh -- last month for a second stint, hoping to develop new talents and form another successful batch.
