Manjurul punished for playing truant

Sports Reporter

Left-arm pacer Manjurul Islam of Mohammedan Sporting Club has been suspended for a year and fined Taka 50,000, a partial amount that the board spent for his travel to South Africa. This was decided by the BCB at its executive committee meeting yesterday.

Manjurul was sent to South Africa last May for a four-month long cricket training. But he returned home surprisingly in July without the permission of either the United Cricket Board of South Africa or the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).

The tall seamer will not be allowed to take part in any competitive cricket next season.
