The Bangladesh Cricket Board has asked all-rounder Sakib al Hasan to return home immediately as he did not take any written permission to participate in the Caribbean Premier League, said an official on Thursday. Sakib flew from Bangladesh on Wednesday to play for Barbados Trident in the second edition of CPL but had to make an arrangement to return home as he was asked by the board for not taking the NOC (no-objection-certificate).
‘Sakib al Hasan’ NOC was not approved and he has been advised to join the training camp,’ said BCB’s acting chief executive officer Nizamuddin Chowdhury.
BCB sources confirmed that Sakib had verbally told the cricket operation chairman Akram Khan but did not bother to wait for the written permission from the BCB.
‘There is some complication regarding his NOC,’ said Ismail Haider Mallick, director of BCB on Thursday.
It was learnt that Sakib had approached the West Indies Cricket Board for a solution with no avail.
Trouble seems to follow the all-rounder as this was the third time he came under the BCB’s disciplinary committee radar in six months.
During a home series against Sri Lanka in February Sakib made lewd gesture on television came earning him a three-match ban and hefty
fine.
Last month during a one-day international match against India he left the dressing room without permission from the manager and allegedly beat a fan in BCB corridor accusing the man of making indecent gesture towards his wife.
Sakib had to face a disciplinary hearing regarding the issue after the series.
The BCB disciplinary committee is expected to announce their decision on the matter soon.
