Win Projections to be updated soon
Bangladesh is going through its greatest crisis yet, sparking protests that have forced PM Sheikh Hasina
to flee the nation and seek safety abroad. Students who highlighted the uncertainty minorities live in and called for a more equitable hiring procedure for government positions were the ones who started the protests. The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, which was originally slated to take place in Bangladesh, has suffered due to the changes.
The game of cricket is becoming more and more tense, and former Bangladeshi cricket player Mohammad Ashraful has denounced the state of affairs.
Currently, Ashraful is playing for Portsmouth Cricket Club in the United Kingdom. The former Bangladeshi batter made a jest to shed light on the situation back home, saying that Prime Minister Hasina has caused significant harm to the nation.
“It is a wonderful thing that Sheikh Hasina is no longer in authority. “People are talking about being independent now that Hasina has fled, but she did a lot of damage to the country,” Ashraful was cited as saying by The Telegraph. “Sobai swaadhin kothata bolse theeki, kintu se (Hasina) polailo toh polailo, deshtaare prochur kkhoti koira diyaa gyalo.”
“So many enterprises have collapsed in the past few days. For the past month, the academic performance of students has suffered greatly. It is equivalent to an irreversible loss. My Bangladeshi siblings are unable to leave the house. That’s the way things stand there,” he said.
Amidst mounting doubts, Bangladesh Cricket aims to make a return.
Mashrafe Mortaza, the former captain of Bangladesh, had his house set on fire as a result of the demonstrations. The miscreants also destroyed Shakib Al Hasan’s former party office in Magura, Bangladesh. The ancestral home of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon in Bhairab, Kishoreganj, was also damaged, adding to the harm done to well-known individuals.
