Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for two years, with one year of that suspended. It was after he accepted three charges of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct.

The experienced cricketer failed to reveal the full details of any approaches or invitations he received to engage in Corrupt Conduct to the ACU on three different instances. Shakib admitted to the charges and agreed to the sanction with the ICC in lieu of an Anti-Corruption Tribunal hearing. If he can satisfy the conditions in respect of the suspended part of the sanction, he will be able to commence cricket next year.
Meanwhile, Bangladeshi fans have gone absolutely bonkers. They haven’t yet been able to digest the fact that one of their favourite players will not be on the field for a year. Some fans have called it too harsh and balmed the ICC while other fans have taken a vow to not watch the game and have started protesting in front of the BCB headquarters.
