Bangladesh's most celebrated cricketer Shakib Al Hasan has been in the news recently, and not in the sports pages. The threat was a cause for concern not only for Shakib but for a country that preaches religious harmony. "The place where we had our gathering was definitely not the puja mandap, it was an adjacent stage. When leaving for his engagement in Kolkata, Shakib staved off a selfie-seeking fan at the border check-post, leading to the fan's cell phone being broken. Shakib went on to score 606 runs and took 11 wickets in the 2019 World Cup, the best all-round performance so far in a single World Cup.
