Fans of Shakib Al Hasan, a Bangladeshi politician and cricketer, on Friday gathered outside the Mirpur Cricket Stadium in the capital Dhaka to protest ahead of the BAN vs SA Test series at home.

Shakib flew from the United States to join the Bangladesh team but cancelled the trip to Dhaka while he was in Dubai due to 'security concerns'. The development shocked the Shakib fans and hundreds of his supporters began gathering outside Mirpur Stadium, one of the venues of the BAN vs SA Test series that is to begin on Monday.
