Bangladesh all-rounder Nasir Hossain was banned from all cricket for 2 years. The decision was made after he accepted 3 charges of breaching the Emirates Cricket Board’s Anti-Corruption Code.
Hossain was charged by the ICC in September 2023 and was admitted to three charges and will face a two-year ban, with six months suspended.
The three charges Hossain admitted:
- “Breach of Article 2.4.3 of the Code, in that he failed to disclose to the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (without unnecessary delay) the receipt of a gift that was offered to him that had a value of over US$ 750, namely the gift of a new iPhone 12.”
- “Breach of Article 2.4.4 of the Code, in that he failed to disclose full details of the approach or invitation he received to engage in Corrupt Conduct via the new iPhone 12,”.
- “Breach of Article 2.4.6 of the Code, in that he failed or refused, without compelling justification, to cooperate with the Designated Anti-Corruption Official’s investigation in relation to possible Corrupt Conduct under the Code, including (without limitation) failing to provide accurately and completely any information and/or documentation requested by the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (whether as part of a formal Demand pursuant to Article 4.3 or otherwise) as part of such investigation,”
