The Bangladesh Cricket Board has suspended the fast bowler Shahadat Hossain for allegedly torturing an 11-year-old housemaid.
The chief executive of the BCB, Nizamuddin Chowdhury, says Hossain has been suspended “from all kind of cricketing activities under BCB’s jurisdiction until a final decision is reached regarding the ‘torture accusations’ brought against him.
“
The law will take its own course. BCB has nothing to do with it. He has to prove himself innocent.
”
Hossain played 38 Tests and 51 one-day internationals for Bangladesh in a career spanning 10 years. He last played a Test against Pakistan this year but lost his place because of injuries.
