The beginning of Shakib Al Hasan's end, an emotional frame

A Frame, the culmination of 17 crore dreams and the beginning of Shakib Al Hasan's end. With that, at the age of 37, he will step foot into the land of the stars, marking his journey to Number Seventy-Five.

In an emotional frame, Shakib's final T20 World Cup and his firm participation before heading to the ninth World Cup are official. Last year, before boarding India's plane to play in the ICC World Cup, Shakib made this clear through a media outlet.

After playing in the 2024 T20 World Cup, he will retire from cricket's most intense format. Shakib has represented the red and green jersey in every edition of the T20 World Cup since 2007.

Until now, Shakib has played 36 matches in 8 editions of the T20 World Cup. He stands second in the list of most matches played. Rohit leads with 39 matches. Shakib has taken 47 wickets in the World Cup, topping the list of most wickets taken. He is also at number eight in the list of highest run-scorers in T20 format, scoring 742 runs. Shakib tops this list in the Bangladeshi jersey.

In the calendar, Shakib's age is 37 years, 1 month, and 22 days. In that case, the possibility of playing in the 2027 World Cup is diminishing. It is assumed that the last image of Shakib with the Bangladesh Cricket Board logo attached to his blazer, on the ICC event, will be his final one.

In 2007, against the West Indies, this son of the sun was crowned with a match in the T20 World Cup. From that Ankhara of 2007 to becoming the world's best all-rounder and now retiring in his career, it seems like a novel.
