Shakib Al Hasan was left shocked when he saw a spectator invaded the pitch to come towards him but latter he quipped with saying that he thought the man would propose for marriage as he was kneeling down to him with flowers.
Even though, Faisal Ahmed is a crazy fan of Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh skipper doesn’t want his and other cricket fans to invade the pitch during an International game.
Faisal invaded the pitch during the second day’s play in Bangladesh’s one-off Test against Afghanistan at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Staidum in Chattogram on Friday.
The incident took place after the 107th over of Afghanistan innings when the fan jumped over the fence from the Eastern gallery, escaped security and went straight to Shakib, who looked shocked and ran behind umpire Nigel Llong.
Shakib only decided to come forward after understanding the whole situation.
The fan gave Shakib a salute before kneeling down to him to offer a rose.
“He doesn’t say anything much but when he offered the flower, he tell me to take it,” Shakib said.
Later the Bangladesh skipper quipped, saying: “I though whether it is a proposal for marriage.”
But then he became serious and said: “But I don’t want to see such thing in the ground. This sort of thing shouldn’t be happened in the ground.”
The security personnel then kept him away from the ground. Invading pitch during the International game is nothing new in the World but this is considered as crime.
The BCB handed the fan over the police and said that they would take legal action to stop such sort of thing forever.
