After this notice, the President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board stated, ‘He (Shakib Al Hasan) will continue playing. We received a legal notice regarding bringing him back and we replied them saying this [that he will continue to play],’ BCB president Faruque Ahmed was quoted in a leading Bengali Daily Prothom Alo on Tuesday.

‘Right now the FIR is filed and it is in the initial stage and there are lot of steps after this and until he is proven guilty we will make him play. The Bangladesh team will go to India after the Pakistan series and we want him in that series as well’.

‘He is our contracted player and if necessary we will give him legal assistance,’ he added.
