Former national skipper Mohammad Ashraful is all set to fly to England next week to avoid the controversy after he was implicated in a match-fixing scandal this week.
Ashraful became the talk of the country after a report leaked that the ICC’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit quizzed him recently suspecting his involvement in fixing two matches in the Bangladesh Premier League.
‘I wish to go to England next week to take a break,’ Ashraful told New Age on Saturday.
‘I need to get some space to breathe freely after all that happened to me recently,’ said Asharaful.
Ashraful added that he would be back before the Dhaka Premier League to participate in it.
Friends and family members said Ashraful broke down mentally after the ongoing saga unfolded.
