BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir attended the Bangladesh vs Pakistan T20 match at Mirpur after many years. In an interview, he commented on the possible return of national cricketer and former Awami League MP Sakib Al Hasan’s team, saying, “It depends on Sakib’s form and whether he is still active in cricket.”

He emphasized his personal stance of keeping politics separate from sports, stating, “I have never wanted to bring politics into sports and do not believe in it. So whoever is deserving will certainly come back.”
