The Bangladesh Cricket Board’s disciplinary panel completed its final hearing of the appeals against the BCB anti-corruption tribunal’s verdicts in the Bangladesh Premier League’s match-fixing trial on Thursday. The disciplinary panel had earlier completed the preliminary hearing on August 6 and began the final hearing from last Monday. Former national team captain Mohammad Ashraful and two other convicted persons along with the International Cricket Council and the BCB appealed against the verdicts delivered by the tribunal.
The Tribunal earlier acquitted six individuals charged by the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit.
Barring Vincent and the acquitted individuals, all parties involved in the trial lodged an appeal before the retired Supreme Court justice, Mohammad Abdur Rashid, the head of the BCB’s disciplinary panel.
‘The learned chairman of the Disciplinary Panel shall issue its decision on the appeals as soon as possible,’ a BCB press said.
