Fan attack Bangladesh captain's house

DHAKA - Angry fans attacked the house of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan after his team crashed to a humiliating nine-wicket World Cup defeat against the West Indies, police said on Saturday.

Shakib's mother and sister were inside the three-storey house in the western district town of Magura when several motor-cycle riders stopped and threw stones at the house on Friday evening, local police chief Proloy Chisim said.

"The stones broke one window of the house. His father spoke to me after the incident and we have already stepped up security in the area," he said.
