Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto reacted to all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan missing the first Test against South Africa in Dhaka over a "security issue". "It's unfortunate...But we can't spend too much time talking about it on the day before the Test. [Shakib's arrival] is not in our control," Shanto said. Notably, Shakib was an MP in the Sheikh Hasina-led government.
