BCB bans Shakib for six months
9 July 2014 5:18 AM IST
Bangladesh Cricket Board on Monday cracked the whip on Shakib Al Hasan for indiscipline, handing him a six-month ban from all forms of cricket after the star all-rounder left for Barbados for Caribbean Premier League without the clearance from the Board. BCB also decided not to grant an NOC to Shakib, who had also misbehaved with coach Chandika Hathurusingha, for any overseas competitions until the end of 2015.
The 27-year-old former captain had threatended to quit international cricket after Hathurusingha asked him to return to Bangladesh’s training camp on August 1 for the upcoming tour of West Indies. The camp though is coinciding with Shakib’s CPL campaign that runs between July 11 to August 16. ‘He has severe attitude problem, which is unprecedented in the history of Bangladesh cricket. We think that his behaviour is such that it is directly impacting the team,’ BCB President Nazmul Hassan informed.
