-- MEDIA RELEASE -- OUTCOMES OF 6TH MEETING OF THE BCB BOARD OF DIRECTORS Six-month playing ban imposed on Shakib Al Hasan for breach of contract agreement The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today imposed a six-month playing ban on all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for breaching agreement terms under the National Player’s Contract. The cricketer will not be eligible for selection in the Bangladesh team and will not be allowed to participate in any competitive game, international or domestic, during the suspension period. The Board also decided not to issue no objection certificate (NOC) to the player for participation in cricket competitions overseas until 31 December 2015. The sanctions will come into effect immediately. The decisions were taken at the 6th meeting of the Board of Directors. BCB President Nazmul Hassan, MP said that it had become necessary for the Board to take a zero tolerance approach towards disciplinary issues: “The penalties are a consequence of multiple allegations of misdemeanor against Shakib. This is not due to a one-off incident. Rather, he has been repeatedly breaking rules and it has come to the point where the Board has identified a serious attitude issue with him which had to be stopped once and for all. “This is a sad moment for us. Shakib is everyone’s favourite cricketer and a national icon. He is an ambassador for Bangladesh. However, if we do not take such strict measures now then it could have a very damaging effect on the overall discipline and spirit of the National Team and may set the wrong example for other players. “This is a message to all that the BCB will not compromise with indiscipline.” AHM MUSTAFA KAMAL CONGRATULATED The Board congratulated AHM Mustafa Kamal, FCA, MP on taking over as President of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Mr Kamal became the President on 26 June 2014 during the ICC Annual Conference in Melbourne.
