The Facebook post is as follows:

"We gave our best as a team in the Asia Cup 2025. Our ultimate goal was to reach the final and win it, but unfortunately, we couldn't achieve that. As a team, we sincerely apologize to all the passionate supporters of Bangladesh. 

"On a personal note, missing the last two games due to injury was heartbreaking. I also won't be able to take part in the upcoming Afghanistan series because of the same reason. I tried my best to recover, but couldn't — and this will hurt me for a long time. 

"Finally, a big thank you to each and every one of you for the overwhelming support throughout the tournament. As athletes, we are truly privileged to have the best supporters in the world. Hopefully, we'll be able to give back what you truly deserve very soon."
