The report also added that Rubel was wounded in the firing and subsequently passed away two days later in a hospital.
ESPNCricinfo’s report claims that the veteran all-rounder was not in the country on August 5 or when the protests took place, resulting in the resignation of Hasina as the Prime Minister of the Country. It is suggested that he was in Canada at the time, taking part in the Global T20 Canada League where he led the Bangla Tigers Mississauga in Brampton. Before that, he was also in the United States of America where he took part in Major League Cricket as well.
After the Awami League were ousted from the Bangladesh government, notable changes took place in the Bangladesh Cricket Board. The former captain, Faruque Ahmed took charge as the President of the national cricket body.
