Sabbir Rahman handed six-month ban from international cricket

Sabbir Rahman is under immense scrutiny for his conduct off the field

Bangladesh batsman Sabbir Rahman has received a six-month ban from all international cricket. The Disciplinary Committee of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) recommended the decision following the 26-year old's string of disciplinary issues off the field.

Sabbir's latest indiscretion, that has attracted the suspension, was a controversy involving social media wherein he allegedly abused a fan. The incident occurred during Bangladesh's ODI series in West Indies in July.

BCB Director Ismail Haider said, "We recommended a six month ban from international cricket and it will be implemented from tomorrow. He (Sabbir) is yet to play domestic cricket for his earlier ban that is expected to end this September. But today we had taken this decision for his Facebook post. Though he said that it was hacked, we don't have the mechanism to verify that."
