Sabbir faces domestic ban, fine for assaulting fan

The disciplinary committee of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has recommended cancelling the deal with Sabbir Rahman for assaulting a fan during a national league match.

“He is not going to remain a contracted cricketer,” said BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon.

Papon said this while briefing the media in Dhaka on Monday after getting the panel’s report.

The panel made its report after a hearing following the match referee’s report.

The BCB president said it also recommended suspending him for six months in domestic games and fining him Tk 2 million.

According to bdnews24, the BCB held the hearing after allegations surfaced that the right-hand batsman beat up a cricket fan during a National Cricket League match in Rajshahi’s Shaheed Quamaruzzaman Stadium on Dec 21.

The middle-order batsman has been included in the initial squad for the upcoming tri-nation series.

There is, however, no ban on him to play international cricket.

“It’s not that the decisions are final. The disciplinary panel has recommended these measures,” Nazmul said.
