Shakib Al Hasan, the star all-rounder of Bangladesh, has recently been handed a two-year ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC). He has accepted his mistakes and will now be working with the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) in their programme as he earlier didn’t inform ICC about the alleged corruption charges.

Amidst the incident, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is thinking about taking some legal action to lessen his suspension period. Although it will be an uphill task as Shakib Al Hasan himself admitted the mistake he did.

“The board has very little scope to do anything about the situation. The term has entered into an agreement as Shakib Al Hasan acknowledged his failure to report the corrupt approaches. But we have already talked to our legal section in order to have some fact findings whether it is possible to work out legally or not,” Nizamuddin Chowdhury, the BCB CEO was quoted as saying in BDcrictime.

His ban has meant that he wouldn’t be able to take part in any of the games as well as he might be excluded from the central contract of the BCB as well.

“I think it is not suitable to make any comment right at this moment. Just a couple of days have passed since the outcome. We will have to discuss thoroughly with board members. Any decision regarding the issue will need elaborate discussion,” Chowdhury further added.

If the BCB somehow manages to reduce the ban period of Shakib Al Hasan, he can be seen in the next year’s T20 World Cup in Australia. Before the suspension, he was involved in the strike which they later called off as the BCB promised to fulfil their demands. In his absence, Mahmudullah and Mominul Haque have been handed over the T20I and Test captaincy respectively for their tour against India.
