DHAKA, (Reuters) – Bangladesh fast bowler Shahadat Hossain has been suspended from all forms of cricket after facing allegations of torturing an 11-year-old housemaid, officials said yesterday.
“The law will take its own course. He has to prove himself innocent,” Nizamuddin Chowdhury, chief executive of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), told reporters.
