Shakib was involved in several controversies in recent years. For example, when Shakib was not given a wide overhead call during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023, he charged at the leg umpire.

Even when Shakib was furious with the umpire during the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) in 2021, he kicked the stumps and smashed them to the ground out of anger. In 2019, the International Cricket Council (ICC) banned Shakib for failing to report corrupt practices.
