Youngers shouldn’t make same mistakes I did: Shakib

International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday banned star al-rounder Shakib Al Hasan from all international cricket for two years, with one-year suspension, over three charges of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.

After the ICC sanction, Shakib Al Hasan said, “I am obviously extremely sad to have been banned from the game I love, but I completely accept my sanction for not reporting the approaches. The ICC ACU is reliant on players to play a central part in the fight against corruption and I didn’t do my duty in this instance.

“Like the majority of players and fans around the world, I want cricket to be a corruption free sport and I am looking forward to working with the ICC ACU team to support their education programme and ensure young players don’t make the same mistake I did.”
