It came as no surprise to the jam-packed audience when Shakib Al Hasan was declared the Sportsperson of the Year during the Grameenphone-Prothom Alo Sports Awards ceremony yesterday.
The smiling boy from Magura played all-rounder to the core last year which paved the way for him to snatch the number one spot in the ICC ranking and as a result, it was obvious that he got the honour as the country's leading cellular phone operator and the leading daily awarded the top sportspersons of the year 2008 at a local hotel.
In the first quarter of the year, Shakib scored heavily with the bat and continued his form throughout the year but what made him special was his outstanding performance with his left-arm spin to prove his coach Jamie Siddons, who declared him as a main spinner in the team, right.
Shakib brought the Tigers almost close to a Test victory against major Test nation when he destroyed New Zealand with seven for 36 in Chittagong.
For the jury there was actually none better than Shakib to hand the award of the Sportsperson of the Year which also confirmed that cricketers are still dominating this award.
