Well, thing is that BCB have much more at stake than having to deal with ghaurami of one superstar. Shakib is still the only superstar we have, but there are other stars in making. We have seen our players finally adapting to T20. In a year or so, they too will start getting invites to play in different leagues around the world. Now, Shak has set a bad precedent of prefering a T20 league over his commitment to the national team. If BCB let this happen again, they can say goodby to any chance for us to have a stable team of our best performers in coming years.

I know this is not an unique issue, other boards (except BCCI, ACB, and CSA who are financially much more stronger than others) too struggling to keep their players stay commited to the national team. We need a collective solution through ICC. But, worst thing BCB can do (till that happen) is do nothing.
