Bangladesh will ban rebel players from playing for the country for 10 years if they participate in any unofficial tournament, its cricket board said on Wednesday. "The decision will be equally effective for contracted players or coaches if they participate in any cricket event having no approval of the ICC (International Cricket Council) or the BCB," Major-General Sina Ibn Jamali told reporters.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board president was speaking after a board meeting convened to make a decision when seven contracted players applied to the board for early retirement. Former captain Habibul Bashar, batsmen Shahriar Nafees, Aftab Ahmed, and Nazim Uddin, all-rounder Farhad Reza, wicketkeeper Dhiman Ghosh and left-arm spinner Mosharraf Hossain requested early retirement this week without giving a reason. Bashar and 12 other leading Bangladesh players will form a new team called the Dhaka Warriors in the unofficial Indian Cricket League (ICL) this year, organisers said in New Delhi on Tuesday.
"I never thought that the BCB would impose such a harsh punishment which fits only for match fixers or drug abusers," Bashar told Reuters. "We signed contracts with ICL to play cricket, not to indulge in any crime."
The Twenty20 league is not recognised by the national governing bodies in the International Cricket Council but Basher said their contracts bound the league to release them to represent their country. Bashar, his former deputy Nafees, wicketkeeper Ghosh and all-rounder Alok Kapali were presented at an ICL news conference in the Indian capital on Tuesday where Bashar told reporters all-rounders Reza and Ahmed had also signed.
