"To strengthen national defense, a total 8,250 young men and 600 young women aged 18-35 will initially be provided with basic self-defense training in judo, karate, taekwondo and firearms," Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain, adviser to the interim government, wrote in a Facebok post.
"We cannot let him carry the Bangladesh flag. It won't be possible for me to allow him to wear the Bangladesh jersey. Maybe I haven't told the BCB before, but now my clear direction for the BCB would be that Shakib Al Hasan can never again play for Bangladesh," Asif Mahmud added.
Leaders of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement have proposed an interim government led by Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus, in a bid to address Bangladesh's ongoing challenges.
They urged students and people across the nation to participate in the march to Dhaka. Three coordinators of the movement--Asif Mahmud, Sarjis Alam, and Abu Baker Majumder, have confirmed their march.
