DHAKA, Nov 22, 2024 (BSS)- The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM)
has handed one-year suspensions and fines to eight cricketers and a team
official today for serious violations of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)'s
Code of Conduct in the Dhaka third division cricket league match.

An altercation broke out between players on both sides in the middle of the
field after the Super League game between Tejgaon Cricket Academy and
Sapphire Sporting Club, which took place at the PKSP Ground on November 18.

Following a thorough investigation and review of the visual evidence from the
incident, the Technical Committee of CCDM found Tejgaon Cricket Academy
players Yeasin Arafat, Md Rifat Al Emon (Anik), Tasin Ahmed Ronobi, Md Rabbi
Hasan, Md Parvez Ahmed Joy, official Robin and Sapphire Sporting Club's Md
Rana Khan, Saiful Islam Shawon and Md Hridoy guilty of a Level 4 offence
under Article 2.19 of the BCB Code of Conduct, which addresses any act of
violence on the field of play during a match.

Level 4 offences carry severe penalties, with a maximum life suspension.
After careful deliberation, the CCDM has imposed a one-year ban on all nine
individuals from participating in BCB competitions. Each has also received a
minimum applicable fine of Taka 50,000.

BCB President Faruque Ahmed has reiterated the BCB's position on acts that
contravene the Code of Conduct.

"The BCB will not be lenient on disciplinary issues at any level of domestic
competitions. Let this be a message to all players and officials that the
Board will strictly deal with breaches of the Code of Conduct," Faruque said.
