The Royal Bengal Tiger is world famous. The logo of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has the Royal Bengal Tiger. Hence the cricketers of Bangladesh are known as "Tigers" in the cricketing world.
Unfortunately, the recent performance of Bangladesh cricket team was not satisfactory. Pakistan, the formidable cricketing nation of the world, came to Bangladesh and like the Roman general and statesman, Julius Caesar, declared veni, vidi, vici, which means I came, I saw and I conquered!
Individuals don't win, but teams do. So, batting, bowling and fielding, all the three branches of cricket should be tuned equally. The lack of total cricket performance of local boys was perceptible in the recent Pakistan versus Bangladesh series. Nonetheless, some miracles occurred! Shakib Al Hasan, the golden son of the nation, emerged with the title of the Top All Rounder in both Test and ODI cricket in the world. Impressive indeed!
Shakib, the former cricket captain of Bangladesh, left-handed batsman and slow left arm bowler reached the 404 rating points in the Test and the 420 rating points in the ODI and became the world's number one All Rounder.
Shakib deserves a Presidential Medal for his outstanding achievements in international cricket. World famous American athletes, Jesse Owens and Muhammad Ali, among others, were honoured with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the USA.
