Bangladesh Test captain banned for corruption

Bangladesh Test captain Shakib al Hasan has been given a two-year ban for "failing to report corrupt approaches".


The 32-year-old accepted three charges relating to requests for "inside information for betting purposes".


The approaches came during an international tri-series also involving Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in January 2018 and that year's Indian Premier League.


Shakib is the top all-rounder in the one-day international rankings and has played 338 matches for Bangladesh.


He was the third-highest run-scorer in the 2019 Cricket World Cup and hit two hundreds, including against England in Cardiff in the group stage. (BBC)
