Al-Amin back in Dhaka

Pacer Al-Amin Hossain returned to the country yesterday. The bowler, who was sent back from the World Cup on disciplinary grounds, arrived here yesterday evening. He could not be contacted by the media upon his arrival.

On February 19, Al-Amin entered the team hotel after 10:00 pm and failed to provide a reasonable explanation regarding his delay. The ICC's Anti Corruption and Security Unit informed the team management about it.

It was learnt that BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon took the hardline and decided to send him back. Various media reports stated that the bowler had allegedly gone to meet a bookie. However, BCB officials stated that Al-Amin had no such intention.

BCB director Jalal Yunus yesterday reconfirmed that Al-Amin was sent back solely due to disciplinary issues and for no other reason.

It is still unsure as to what Al-Amin will do in the next few days. At the moment the National Cricket League is going on, however, whether Al-Amin will take part in the event or not is uncertain.
