Shakib enlisted in MSC voters’ list

Ace all-rounder Shakib al Hasan has made another discussion point in the country’s sport as it is revealed that the cricketer is an enlisted voter for the upcoming election of Dhaka Mohammedan Sporting Club.

Shakib is listed at number 310 in the voters’ list of the traditional club that was published on Tuesday. The 33-year old is currently in US to be with his wife who is expecting their third child in March. There is a wide discussion on Shakib for having got involved in a club as a member despite being a current player representing Bangladesh at the highest level.

Along with Shakib, BCB president and Abahani Club Ltd director Nazmul Hasan has also been named in the voters list for Mohammedan. Another BCB and Abahani director IH Mallick is also voter to the Motijheel-based club.    

Mohammedan Club election is scheduled to take place in March 6.

Shakib has recently been on the receiving end of heavy criticism for his decision to participate in the upcoming season of lucrative Indian Premier League T20 and skip Test matches for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka in April to join the money-spinning extravaganza.
