Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan has no doubt that he is going to win the FIFA World Cup.
With only a few hours left to begin the most popular sporting extravaganza, which is being hosted by Qatar, Shakib jokingly made this comment in a video interaction on Sunday, reports BSS.
In the video, the cricketers of the Bangla Tigers predicted who could win the World Cup. Almost everyone has chosen their favourite team. However, a different answer was received from Shakib. Asked who will win the World Cup, Shakib said, 'Me.'
Shakib will win the World Cup trophy without playing which is much like scoring a goal in an empty field!! Of course, it is not unknown to anyone that Shakib supports Argentina from his heart. Shakib, a huge fan of Lionel Messi, will fly to Qatar on the sidelines of the T10 League to watch Argentina play.
On November 26, he will watch the game between Argentina and Mexico.
Shakib is now in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the T10 league, the only 10-over league, approved by the ICC.
Bangladesh's Test and T20 captain will play in Bangla Tigers, a team owned by a Bangladeshi company and he is also appointed as captain of this team.
This 60-ball competition started amid the football frenzy which hit the fever pitch and also captivated cricketers around the world. Discussions are going on about the preferred team. There is a battle of words about who will be the champion.
New Zealand's Ben Cutting, Colin Munro, England's Jack Ball, Benny Howell, and Pakistan's Mohammad Amir will play for Bangla Tigers under the leadership of Shakib.
The sixth T10 League is going to start with the match between Bangladesh Tigers and New York Stars on November 23.
