I would say Shakib get away with it, technically he missed how many series? As far as i remember only 2 (Correct me if i am wrong)  Indian tour and Zimbabwe visit that's it and after that cricket already came to halt pretty much due to covid-19, so not much loss for him.
It is true that he did not miss much cricket because of the pandemic.

  His reputation getting tarnished because of the association with match fixing may haunt him for the rest of his life. I am still not convinced by the arguments put forward by the BCB. There is still a chance that he is innocent and he got trapped by someone else.
As far as i know Shakib Al Hasan is not involved in match fixing, the reason he was suspended was because he did not abide by the rules to inform the authorities if any bookies approaches a player and Shakib Al Hasan did not do that and that is the mistake he did. He is always having trouble with the cricket board in the past and that did not help him either.

It's kind of unfair decision to be honest for both Akmal and Shakib Al Hasan. They didn't have any deal, refuse to deal but just because they didn't let know the board about that should not punish them. Imagine how player like Shakib Al Hasan will perform after getting back, I doubt I will see the previous Shakib once again at all.

You are right. But then, Shakib was probably among the best players Bangladesh ever produced.

This can happen as we have many cases like personal like dislike and professional jealousy like this Shakib is really role modle for Bangla cricket and he was on peak for last few months but suddenly this case done all end which is wired for me as well..

Lol it's India, and we are getting many 1000's of cases daily, you are dreaming about cricket, as early as possible may be in July or August we will have any Cricket.
PSL is in Pakistan right, what is the situation there, if the authorities can isolate themselves from the contaminated zones and move the matches to places where they are not having major spread then they can continue with the match. The reason i am saying this is because not every place will be heavily infected.

Even Empty stadium matches will require 100's of logistics team to run any matches, and In India more than 50 person gathering not allow. 2nd thing, No outside Flight running now, so how International player will come?
There are no international flights but then can arrange private flights for the sporting events if they can, but it might not be possible to open up in a couple of month but eventually it will open up, you cannot shut down everything for a long period of time, adapt and move on is the only solution.

Update on Akmal's case... here goes his T-20 World Cup dream.

I think After Shakib al hasan. Umer Akmal becomes 2nd international player to get ban "For not reporting about details of corrupt approach".

PCB hands Umar Akmal three-year ban from all cricket

Update on Umar Akmal..

He's trying his luck and challenging the PCB's decision. Its his right and its seems that he rejected all the charges, guess more paperwork for PCB and Anti corruption department.

Umar Akmal lodges formal appeal against three-year suspension

I salute you all for keeping this discussion thread active in times when there is no PSL/IPL or any other international cricket tournament due to coronavirus pandemic.

The discussion is alive here, but for die-hard cricket fans like me, life has become unbearable. I used to watch multiple live cricket matches every day. However, the last time I watched a live match was more than two months back. You may find it unbelievable, but I am getting depressed as a result of this. Other cricket fans are finding refuge in watching highlights of the past matches and playing virtual cricket online. But I am not a big fan of these options.

For many peoples in Sub-Continent cricket is life and cricket is every thing so we all need to keep this spirit up hopefully in near future we will able to talk about live games again as now Korean soccer starts and Germany is ready for soccer from next week.

Cricket will also resume soon and we will see again the crowd filled thrilling matches in the stadiums. Slowly the games will be resumed with more precaution environment so that players and the spectators are safe from covid-19 while playing & watching the match.
Yes, cricket will resume but with empty stadium. I do not think they will allow gathering of spectators. The Korean football league has also started but with empty stadium. This is possibly the only option left now. Nobody knows when will the vaccine will be out. In the meantime they can resume all sports activities like this.

In order to promote the cricket, i think there should be matches in local leagues in which only local country people play. There will no be international travel and therefore international cricket tournaments may not be possible for a long time.

^^ If it seems tough task then ICC should take a balance measures such as put a cap on foreign players, identify 18-20 batch of players/squad. Give only 4-6 spots to foreign players, rest of the players should be from their own country and hope for the best that this move might encourage local population.

This is a good suggestion. Around 50% of the playing XI can be comprised of expats, and the remaining 50% can be natives. At least this would make sure that the locals may get interested in the sports. Right now this loophole is being misused very frequently. For example, UAE is fielding retired international players from India and Pakistan (on top of the domestic players), while USA is including retired international players such as Rusty Theron and Hayden Walsh Jr. in their squad.

Realisticly this is very good and positive move but then few countries should be disappear from ICC mape because they are not able to do this like UAE Oman Kuwait Canada and USA as they are completely depending on sub-continent and Sri Lankan players.

This may give them opportunity to search for the local players within their country. This may take time as local players would be available at the moment but in the long run it will be good for these small countries. A local player is more parotic and play for his country rather than the offshore player to play for money only.
You are right but this is very long term process and not easy because we have South African example in last 28 years they fail to bring some good and talented players from black community and still too many issues as they are coming with just political influence and personal like and dislike.

I think south Africa cricket team has such rules and it is mandatory that there team should have certain number of black players. But those black or white players in SA team is on the basis of the races / culture and not like foreign players to be included in national team.
