Once again the genie of fixing has awakened, but this time the matter is of Bangladesh cricket. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Anti -Corruption Unit (ACU) has recommended a at least five -year ban on batsman Minhajul Abedin Sabbir.
This player of the Shinepukur Cricket Club on the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) against Gulshan Cricket Club earlier this year after two unusual dismissals in a match, especially after Sabbir’s dismissal, people’s eyebrows got tanned.
In fact, in the 44th over of the match, the batsman stood inside the crease and gave a chance to stump the wicketkeeper, not playing any shot. The special thing is that the batsman did not make any effort to escape, it seemed as if he wanted to be out.
ACU conclusion and violation of Code
This peculiar outs immediately sparked a debate between the players, officials and fans, and many expressed suspicion of fixing. Further investigation revealed that the match could be affected by external factors, due to which the ACU conducted a comprehensive investigation.
The ACU report concluded that Sabbir’s actions have hurt the sportsmanship and recommended it to face at least five years of suspension. The case has now been sent to BCB’s Anti -Corruption Tribunal.
A tough message for Bangladesh cricket
The dispute is similar to the eight-year suspension of Mohammad Ashraful in 2013, one of the black chapters of Bangladesh cricket. ACU officials have appealed to the ICC and Interpol to cooperate to fully find out the network behind the scam.
This recent case is strictly reminded that the danger of fixing remains constant threat to the integrity of cricket. For Sabbir, this result can mean premature end of his career.
