Good point. The interveiwer could have been tougher. But this was pre-planned and soft ball questioning was pre prepared. This was not an interview rather a shakib response in a formal platform appearing more professional.
He could have been grilled. Tamim look much better than mahmudullah on the second match but riyad made it not tamim. Mahedi made it how ? what role is he fulfilling ? U take 2 out of these 3 ..riyad mahedi nusum. Not all 3. Also as mentioned some saying about carring some extra injured reserve player..I don't know the rules... but he could have been accommodated.
If bcb thought he was too much of a liability that's an administration decision amd shakib should have no opinion about it instead He should be supportive of his playing partner since they learned how to hold bats and brought us many joys over the years.
Show some humility and respect man.
It's not like tamim is in sarker form. There is a genuine case for his inclusion in 15 man squad not necessarily 11 . It would not be charity inclusion.
