There should be no barriers on Shakib in and out of country:  Adviser

Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan has said that there should be no barriers on Shakib Al Hasan in his and out of the country.

The adviser said this while talking to journalists after visiting the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Sunday.

“There should be no barriers in his movement in or out of the country, as far as I know. The legal aspects are for the Ministry of Law to explain. I am neither an expert nor responsible for the Ministry of Law.

However, we have had discussions with the Ministry of Law. Asif Nazrul Sir has already said that if the preliminary investigation finds no involvement, his name will be dropped from the murder case”, he said.
On 9 October, Shakib posted an apology on his official Facebook page, expressing regret for remaining silent during the student movement and also explaining his political stance. Referring to this and discussing Shakib's security, the sports advissr said, “It is the state's responsibility to ensure the security of every citizen. The state is also responsible for ensuring the security of the national cricket team, and we will make sure of that.”

South Africa will arrive in Bangladesh on 16 October to play a two-match Test series. The series will kick off with the first Test on 21 October.
