Cricket Fantasy Desk: Bangladesh star Tanzim Hasan Shakib, under fire for misogynistic comments, apologized. The participation of women in the workforce plays a vital role in the advancement of society. However, a controversial statement made by young Bangladeshi fast bowler Tanzim Hasab Shakib drew significant criticism. He eventually issued an apology as the controversy reached its peak, clarifying that his views on women were not reflected in the controversial statement, and he pointed to his own mother as an example.

So, what led to this controversy? In September of the previous year, Tanzim posted on Facebook, suggesting that women entering the workforce could result in the violation of husbands’ rights and the deprivation of children’s maternal care. He also implied that married women who worked outside the home might face negative consequences within their families. This statement stirred up a storm of controversy. Despite making his international cricket debut against a formidable team like India, Tanzim found himself leaving the field amidst this controversy. However, due to mounting pressure, he eventually issued a formal apology.
