A helicopter crashed just after dropping off Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and his wife in Cox’s Bazar. One person was killed and four injured when the helicopter came down during its return journey to Dhaka.

Shakib and Shishir were dropped off at the Royal Tulip Sea Resort south of Cox's Bazar town. They were scheduled to shoot a commercial. The chopper crashed an hour later near Inani beach, around 1.5km north of Shakib’s landing site.

"I am fine, but feel rather shocked at the news of the chopper crash," Shakib said to newspapers, as reported by ESPNcricinfo. "But I can't really tell you anything about the crash. I was at shooting at the time."
