Shakib Al Hasan recently criticized the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), claiming that the BCB's lack of willingness is to blame for various inconsistencies.
Shakib believes that this situation will be resolved quickly. He claimed that if he were the CEO of the BPL, he would have changed everything in one or two months.
"If I am made CEO of the BPL it wouldn't take me too many days. I think it would take one or two months at most to make everything right. It may not even take two months, even two months seem like too long," Shakib with a smile on his face Thursday.
On Friday, BPL governing council chairman Sheikh Sohel was questioned about this. In response, Sohel stated that the door is always open for Shakib to become the CEO of BPL.

"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. 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" he said.
Shakib jokingly responded to Sohel's invitation on a private television talk show by saying,
"Why [should I come as] BPL CEO? Isn't it better if I become the BCB president?"
Amid all of this off-field discussion, Shakib hit a firing half-century in his first match but couldn't lead his team Fortune Barishal to vicotry.
