Moral training for cricketers
The BCB has banned Shakib from playing. The problem lies in the fact that BCB does not know how to handle Shakib. On the other hand, Shakib too does not know how to handle stardom and money simultaneously. It is primarily because his education and knowledge is not commensurate with his fame and money.
It was the responsibility of BCB to recognise this problem and work hard enough to solve it. But unfortunately, Shakib never had a good mentor who could handle him properly. The question is whose responsibility was it to correct and groom him? Have we not seen participants in the reality shows? Did the participants look and appear the same in their first and last appearances on the screen? NO. They change so much. In these programmes each and every participant has to go through a series of lessons.
Most of our cricketers are from outside Dhaka with middle class or lower middle class economic background. Many of them did not even pass the HSC exam. I would expect BCB to arrange a series of grooming programmes every year to teach them spoken English, psychology, simple math and physics, laws and rules, morality and other human virtues. Lastly, the whole thing could have been handled in a far better way than they have done it.
