'Why BPL CEO, why not BCB president?': Shakib responds to Sheikh Sohel's invitation
In a private television talk show, Shakib jokingly responded to Sohel's invitation by saying, "Why [should I come as] BPL CEO? Isn't it better if I become the BCB president?"
A few days ago, Shakib Al Hasan criticised the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), saying that BCB's lack of willingness is behind various inconsistencies. Shakib believes that it will not take much time to change this situation. He claimed that he would have changed everything within one or two months if he was the CEO of the BPL.
There has been a lot of discussion about it in the last few days. BCB chief executive officer Nizam Uddin Chowdhury was bombarded with questions on Thursday.
BPL governing council chairman Sheikh Sohel was asked about this on Friday. In response, Sohel said that the door is always open for Shakib if he wants to become the BPL CEO.

"Shakib has expressed interest and I welcome him. I welcome him to the governing council. If he wants, he can come next year and fulfill his duties."
The BPL governing council chief further said, "We thank him as he wants to come as the CEO. Let him come, make BPL work and help us. Of course, he's welcome. Now that he is playing, he cannot leave the game. Let him come next year."
In a private television talk show, Shakib jokingly responded to Sohel's invitation by saying, "Why [should I come as] BPL CEO? Isn't it better if I become the BCB president?"
Shakib, in his team's first game, was in sublime form with the bat, hitting a quick-fire half-century but could not win Barishal the match.
