No graft charges against Al-Amin: BCB

BCB president Nazmul Hassan has said that the ACSU did not bring any corruption charges against Al-Amin Hossain, although the agency gave information about the player's whereabouts to the Bangladesh team management.


Speaking upon his return to Dhaka from Australia, Hassan said that Al-Amin had given different versions of the events of February 19, when he returned late to the team hotel. Team manager Khaled Mahmud said that Al-Amin had not taken permission from the management to leave the team hotel after 10pm.


"ACSU informed us but that doesn't mean he is involved in match-fixing," Hassan told Maasranga TV. "There are no allegations against him. Every player is under watch in this World Cup. Al-Amin went out late at night. I was really surprised about him. He is not the type of person to go out on his own at night in a foreign country.


"Everyone knows that we are very strict with discipline. We have taken a lot of tough decisions in the recent past so it is hard to imagine what just happened. When senior players don't get out of their room after 10pm, he ventured out so late at night. We don't even know where he went, that's the biggest question. He is telling us different versions. It is not a very serious issue but still."
Hassan revealed that he had been asked not to send Al-Amin home but he stuck to the decision to set an example within the Bangladesh team. The BCB had earlier said, in a statement, that it would investigate the matter to zero in on where the bowler went that night.


"I was requested to excuse him this time, but I just asked them one question. What if someone does the same thing again? This will remain the example so no question about it," Hassan said. "This is why he has been asked to return.
"A boy like Al-Amin getting out in Brisbane where he doesn't know anything. I believe that if he is dropped off away from the hotel, he won't be able to return. He left in a car and returned soaking wet in the rain. It has made us think."
