I love that clash between Shakibians and anti-Shakibians outside of the stadium. A country where people love their cricket, and that's great:)
(Also interesting parallels to Russia where plenty of sports stars have smeared themselves with sitting in Parliament voting for what Putin wants. We can but hope Russia can be the next Bangladesh...)
Indeed, Boris - sport and politics are inextricably entwined but sports stars are better off waiting for their first careers to end before entering their second!

Have a great time, Jonathan!
Enjoy your stay in Bangladesh
