BCB withdraw suspension on Shahadat

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has withdrawn the temporary suspension on national cricketer Kazi Shahadat Hossain on humanitarian grounds, reports the BSS.

 

In September 2015 the pace bowler was banned from participating in activities under the Board's jurisdiction including playing in competitions after he became a subject of investigation for alleged criminal offences.

 

In a press release issued today (Tuesday), BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said, "The BCB's disciplinary committee has taken the decision to withdraw the playing ban on Shahadat from humanitarian considerations following an appeal by the player. The ruling, effective from today, is applicable for participation in domestic cricket only. He however, will not be considered for national team selection until his legal issues are settled."
