The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has fined the Legends of Roopganj cricketer Shabbir Rahman and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmandi club manager Sultan Mahmood with a fine of 50,000 Bangladeshi Tk for making racial remarks during a DPL (Dhaka Premier League) match.
In fact, Sheikh Jamal had filed an official complaint with the Dhaka Metropolitan Cricket Committee (CCDM), the BCB wing that organizes various club-based tournaments in Dhaka, for making racial remarks against Shabbir towards his player Elias Sunny.
The Technical Committee of the CCDM today held a virtual hearing with the players, club officials and match officials involved in the matter and decided to impose fines on Shabbir and Sultan. Also issued a warning to Elias.
Shabbir was accused of throwing bricks at Elias from outside the ground for no reason and using abusive and racial language towards him during a match against Old DOHS Club at Bangladesh Krida Shikha Pratishthan (BKSP) 3.
It is understood that getting into controversies with Shabbir is not a new thing. Recently he was banned for six months for abusing a fan on social media. Shabbir also lost his national contract in 2018 for beating a fan during a first-class match. Apart from this, half of his BPL salary was also deducted in 2015. He was also accused of being under discipline in the team hotel.
