The T20 World Cup 2024 is over, Team India has won it but there is a ruckus in Bangladesh over a match of this tournament. Actually, vice-captain Taskin Ahmed did not get a place in the match between India and Bangladesh. This player did not join the team because he kept sleeping in the hotel. Taskin also admitted that his team had missed the bus but he argued that he had reached the stadium on time and he was not supposed to get a chance in the match. But the veteran player of the team Shakib Al Hasan has given a statement to the contrary.

What did Taskin Ahmed say?

Talking to Dhaka newspaper Azker Patrika, Taskin said that he reached the ground a little late but he reached the ground before the toss. Taskin said, 'I reached the ground about 30 to 40 minutes before the toss. I could not reach to board the team bus. The bus left the hotel at 8:35 in the morning. I left for the ground at 8:43. I reached the ground almost with the bus. It is not that they did not select me because I reached late. I was not going to play anyway.'

What did Shakib Al Hasan say?

Shakib Al Hasan said the exact opposite of Taskin. He said that due to the late arrival of this fast bowler, his selection in the playing eleven became difficult. Shakib told the media that 'the bus usually leaves at a fixed time. It is a rule that the team bus does not wait for anyone.' Shakib said that if someone misses boarding the bus, he can come through the manager and car or taxi. Taskin arrived 5-10 minutes before the toss, so his selection in the playing eleven became difficult. Shakib said that Taskin apologized to the entire team and it was an unintentional mistake. The matter ended here.
