KANPUR, India (AP) — Shakib Al Hasan said if he can’t get security guarantees for his safety, and receive permission to leave the country, then this week’s test against India in Kanpur would be his last. He also spoke about a murder case against him in Bangladesh.

“I am a citizen of Bangladesh, so I shouldn’t have any problem going back to Bangladesh. My concern is my safety and security in Bangladesh,” he said.

“My close friends and family members are concerned. I hope things are getting better. There should be a solution to it.

“I am available for the South Africa series but since there’s a lot happening back home, everything doesn’t depend on me,” he added.

“I have discussed my plans (with the BCB). If there’s a chance, and if I could play, my last test will be in Mirpur (Dhaka). The board is trying to ensure that I can play and feel safe, but at the same time, I should be able to leave the country without a hitch.

“It has been tough for me, while I am focused on the game. There is a case against me. I will be glad to see evidence of it, if it was done properly. Everyone has rights — people know where I was and what I was doing at the time. False allegations are not really giving our country a great outlook. It is not very appropriate.”
