Bangladesh Cheer leader tiger Shoyab Ali will not be seen with his royal Bengal Tiger appearance at Manuka Oval when Bangladesh takes on Afghanistan Wednesday in the first match of 2015 World cup.
After lot of efforts of several Bangladeshis Shoyab Ali bearing Bangladesh Passport No –AE -0909336 could submit visa application to Australian high commission Dhaka for his visa. Cricketer Yusuf Rahman Babu will provide return Air Ticket.
Few of us Bangladeshi Australians will take care of his accommodation and other logistics.
FM Radio Bhuban and some TV channels let out special appeal for Shoyab. If Visa process is expedited Tiger Shoyab may be seen at Iconic MCG cheering Bangladesh in the match against Sri Lanka on 26 February and thereafter in the rest of the matches.
Tiger Shoyab has encouraged Bangladesh cricket team in most matches so far. But traveling with the team to Australia required some special efforts. Bangladesh Cricket Supporters Association (BCSA) went all out to arrange for his World Cup Visit. BCB and ICC President Bangladesh Planning Ministers business house extended helping hands.
Cricketer Yusuf Rahman Babu from USA has arranged air ticket. Now Australian High Commission at Dhaka should consider this a very special case .One Shoyab here will carry the good wish of entire Bangladeshi nation for the team. Let the brave boy come to Australia New Zealand as soon as possible to encourage the boys. I have seen cheer leaders of Sri Lanka , India and Pakistan are already here .
