After Shakib’s brilliant all-round performance during the 2019 World Cup, which saw him score 606 runs and take 11 wickets, it was expected that he would lead from the front during the 2023 edition to be held in India. However, Shakib, who missed two matches of the 2023 World Cup owing to injury, had an average tournament with the bat, scoring just 186 runs in 7 matches at an average of 26.57.
“I had huge discomfort facing the ball. It is not in one or two games in the World Cup, rather I was having it (the eye problem) throughout the World Cup,” Shakib told Cricbuzz.
“The thing is that when I went to the doctor there was water in my cornea or retina and they had given me drops and told me that I have to lower my stress. I am not sure whether that was the reason. But when I checked again in America there was no stress and I told the doctor there is no World Cup so naturally there is no stress,” he added.
