Shakib: Love for the game hasn’t faded
Shakib Al Hasan still shining with both bat and ball
Veteran Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan continues to prove that age is just a number — not just with his on-field performances, but with the unwavering passion he carries for cricket.
Currently playing for Dubai Capitals in the Global Super League (GSL), Shakib has featured in all three of his team’s matches so far, including today’s game.

Before the game Shakib spoke to the broadcasters from the heart: “I still love cricket just like I did in U-15 or U-19. That love hasn’t faded. As long as I enjoy the game, I’ll continue playing. The day I stop enjoying it, I’ll stop.”
His words reflect the mindset of a cricketer who, despite not being a regular in Bangladesh’s current international plans, refuses to walk away from the game he loves.
The 38-year-old made headlines with a brilliant GSL debut, scoring an unbeaten 58 off 37 balls and taking 4 wickets for 13 runs, leading Dubai to a commanding 22-run victory. While his second outing against the Hurricanes was a quiet one, Dubai kept faith in him, fielding him again today — a testament to his value and experience.
