New Delhi . The Bangladesh Cricket Board is showing strictness against those who sell the soul of cricket games. This is the reason why ACU has recommended a five -year ban if the BCB’s Anti Corruption Unit (Anti Corruption Unit) ie ACU is found involved in match fixing on a batsman. Batsman Minhajul Ayedin Sabbir has been found guilty of match fixing in the last session of Dhaka Premier League. Sabbir may now have to face five years. Its investigation started in April itself.
The recommendation came after an investigation by the ACU in the DPL match between Shinepukur Cricket Club and Gulshan Cricket earlier this year, in which questions were raised about two controversial dismal decisions. According to Cricbuzz, in the 36th over of that match, opener Rahim Ahmed got out of the crease off the left -handed spinner Nihuduzam and stumped out. Surprisingly, he did not even try to return. Apart from this, another case is to Sabbir.
The same thing happened in the 44th over of the match, when Minhajul Abedin fell ahead of the crease after taking the Sabbir guard, making Gulshan’s wicketkeeper Mahidul Islam Ankon stumping without any opposition. According to ACU documents, Sabbir was found to be violating several sections of the BCB’s Anti -Corruption Code due to the contact with suspected bookies and failing to report contacts. The case is now in the Anti Corruption Court.
The ACU report said, “Given the evidence, we (on Sabbir) are recommending a ban of at least five years from all types of cricket. Apart from this, there is also a possibility of banning eight to ten years or more. It also reflects the severity of the crime and acts as a preventive. Mohammad Ashraful’s eight -year -old suspension also supports harsh punishments.”
