The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have taken immediate action against Shahadat Hossain,

Shahadat said that he will not be playing in the ongoing NCL match as he is suspended and he is not sure what will happen in future. The pacer also accepted his mistake that he lost his temper, but blamed Arafat for his misbehaviour as he refused to shine the ball. He also said that he answered him back with degrading tone.
