As a tradition, former cricketers from the Bangladesh national team are set to engage in an exhibition match on the auspicious occasion of Victory Day. Organized by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) each year, this friendly encounter is dedicated to two courageous freedom fighters: cricketer Shahid Jewel and organizer Shahid Mushtaq, who sacrificed their lives during the liberation war.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has handed a two-year ban to former Bangladesh national team cricketer Nasir Hossain for involvement in corruption during his participation in the T-Ten League in the United Arab Emirates. The sanctions, announced by the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit, follow the confirmation of three charges under the Anti-Corruption Act, to which Nasir has admitted guilt. The details were disclosed in an official press release by the ICC.
