Bangladesh Cricket Board president questions Shakib Al Hasan's commitment towards country

Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan has slammed Shakib Al Hasan after the all-rounder expressed his willingness to take a break from international cricket and not tour South Africa.

So does it mean that if he got his IPL contract, he would have said the same thing? We can't do anything if he doesn't want to play for Bangladesh," ESPNcricinfo quoted Hassan as saying.
