Shakib has ban reduced

ShakibAlHasan

The all-rounder was banned for six months in July for what BCB president Nazmul Hasan described as "serious misbehaviour".

Reports had suggested that the former captain had threatened to quit international cricket after coach Chandika Hathurusingha requested that he return from Caribbean Premier League duty to attend a Bangladesh training camp.

Shakib vehemently denied those accusations, but the incident followed controversy during a one-day international in June when he was alleged to have had an altercation with a fan.

Last month, Shakib made an apology after filing an application for a review of his suspension at BCB headquarters before asking the board to reconsider his ban.

And it was decided on Tuesday that Shakib will be allowed to return to action for Bangladesh from September 15.

However, he remains subject to a ban on playing in overseas domestic leagues until the end of the year.
