DHAKA – Angry fans attacked the house of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan after his team crashed to a humiliating nine-wicket World Cup defeat against the West Indies, police said Saturday. Shakib’s mother and sister were inside the three-storey house in the western district town of Magura when several motor-cycle riders stopped and threw stones at the house on Friday evening, local police chief Proloy Chisim said. “The stones broke one window of the house.
His father spoke to me after the incident and we have already stepped up security in the area,” he told AFP. Shakib’s father Mashrur Reza told reporters that a number of windows were shattered on the first floor, including those of the captain’s room. Bangladesh, one of the three co-hosts of the World Cup, were bowled out for their lowest one-day-international total 58 on Friday to leave them facing a huge struggle to secure a place in the World Cup quarter-finals.
