In response to the question whether Shakib will be available for cricket after the elections, the BCB President said, “We have discussed it. He should continue playing till 2025.
Both Mashrafe bin Mortaza and Shakib Al Hasan have shown interest in the position. Talking about who could take over as the next BCB president, Nazmul Hasan said, “It is difficult to say. It is not appropriate to comment on this here.”
When asked about his entry into politics and the possibility of winning again, he said, “I had never thought of joining politics. I thought it was an easy job. But after joining it, I realized how difficult politics is. There is no mercy in this. I have full faith in the people of Bhairab that they will not take any wrong decision. He was and will always be with Bangabandhu (Sheikh Mujibur Rahman), his daughter (Sheikh Hasina) and my father (late President Zillur Rahman).
