On Friday, the play of the 2nd day of the one-off Test between Bangladesh and Afghanistan at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium got halted for a while as a crazy fan ran onto the field to give Shakib a flower bouquet.

The fan presented the flowers by kneeling down in front of Shaikb and then saluted him. Police later took him outside of the stadium.

Though the stadium was under tight security, the fan’s entrance into the stadium bypassing all security left the on duty security personnel red faced.

Prior to this, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Mushfiqur Rahim faced the same situation on the field.
