Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked the National Cricket team's Test and T20 captain Shakib Al Hasan to pay attention to the game without the upcoming parliamentary elections. Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader said this at a press conference at around 11pm on Sunday.
Responding to the question of journalist at Awami League's party office in Dhanmondi, the Road Transport and Service Minister said, "The Prime Minister told Shakib Al Hasan that the World Cup is coming next year, pay more attention to the World Cup."
Obaidul Kader said, the national cricket team captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza will take the Awami League nomination form today.
Mashrafe is scheduled to take nomination form at 10am this morning. But till the last news, he has not yet reached the Awami League office to take the nomination form. His supporters stood in front of Awami League office with banners and festoons.
