After Shakib's ban another news coming out that Glenn Maxwell known as "The big show" has taken a break from the Cricket due to his Mental problems. i have never seen him angry or sad in the cricket field. it tells us about the pressure in International game or "grass is always greener on the other side".
This is the first player who is taking a break from cricket completely because of mental problems and i am glad he identified his issues and he asked the cricket board for a break and they are supporting him, the way in which he performed in the first T20 and he way he was fielding nor talking during those period you will not identify something was wrong with him, hope he returns and be alright there may be huge pressure or personal issues to get to a stage to take a break like this.

All the franchise cricket has some shady things happening, Pakistan players caught recently in the spot fixing scandal and IPL...
This reminds me of Sharjeel Khan; it seems like he's gonna be a part of the upcoming PSL players draft! It's amazing; it has been 5 years since he last played an international-level match. Feels like yesterday TBH.
Let's see if his batting style is still as aggressive as before. I hope he proves himself in the upcoming PSL and makes way to the international cricket again.
I don't think that Sharjeel will have any sort of issues in making a comeback if he performs fine in the PSL. Remember, he's only 30 right now, and PCB can't just go on and ignore a cricketer this young!

I have always regarded the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Chennai Super Kings as franchises prone to shady deals. The CSK were suspended for 2 years, and only returned to the IPL in 2018. CSK is owned by N Srinivasan, while the SRH is owned by his close friend and politician Kalanithi Maran. My guess is that rather than Shakib, it is the CSK/SRH franchises that are behind the scourge of match fixing. I would say that Shakib was made a scapegoat, so that Srinivasan and Maran could escape.
Nonsense. Don't assume stuff without providing concrete proof. SRH was never accused of fixing even once while CSK and RR are the only 2 franchises that have engaged in shady deals and this has been proved.Shakib is not some innocent child who was forced to commit these crimes. He knew damn well what he was doing and he deserves this punishment(1 year would have been enough though).
Advice : Stop making pointless accusations.

Just noticed the post by JSRAW. So all this happened during the IPL 11, just before the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad v Kings XI Punjab. This actually raises a few uncomfortable questions about the IPL itself. First of all, how did the bookies managed to approach players representing the Sunrisers Hyderabad? Second, if they were able to approach Shakib, what is the guarantee that they didn't approached the other players? And thirdly, what is the surety that all of the SRH players turned down their offer?
All the franchise cricket has some shady things happening, Pakistan players caught recently in the spot fixing scandal and IPL being the biggest money maker in the market you are bound you expect these kind of things and the bookies will try their best to get inside information and most probably fix the matches so that they can win millions every game and this is a huge black market for these illegal activities and majority of the times people who are close to the team management will be behind these and so is the reason the ICC has implemented some strict policies regarding it to avoid these instances.

Not following cricket much from last few weeks. Been busy with some real life stuffs. Hopefully from next week I will be regular again.
Watching cricket obviously. Sri Lanka will lose this match as well LOL
I placed a risky bet on Sri Lanka and looks like Australia are set to demolish them, but it was a small bet luckily. Too many one sided matches these days.

I guess he can make it 1 year as the article says:
I highly doubt it. It would take a miracle for him to bounce back after this offence even if the ban is just for an year. Even if he returns, he will be constantly booed probably just like Smith and Warner which is why this is probably his retirement time.I heard from unverified source that one of the BCB's official gave his contact number or introduce him to a Bookie way back in 2016-17. as of now he accepted the 3 charges and punishment.

Damn. This is serious stuff. I can't remember the last time a popular sub-continent player got involved in such stuff. Also, where is @Royse777? Don't see him around much these days. Source

Looks political witch hunt to me, we are suppose to believe that after 2 years suddenly ICC woke up and got their shit together. Timing is fucked up here without any doubt and as far as i understand he denied the Bookie's offer. 6-18 months sounds harsh as well - for not reporting-
Probably, but Shakib is not as innocent as you guys make him out to be. As I mentioned earlier, both are at fault here. He is definitely one of the best Cricket players(Already a legend in my opinion), but he has made a lot of mistakes before and this could probably have been one of them.I do hope that he bows out of this sport gracefully though somehow despite all these allegations even though this seems highly unlikely at this point. I wonder how the Bangladesh team will recover from these consecutive blows.
Tbh i am sad to hear about shakib, because i rate highly him as a cricketer. you are right that he is not innocent as we think, he did broke rules by not reporting the couple of incidents, may be more? and now paying the price. but he's not alone in this game and i believe BCB has a big role in it, my understanding is that at start BCB was saving his ass but after drama between players and board they threw him under the bus. (agree with @iwantapony)

Seems pretty harsh even though he was able to skip the maximum penalty of 5 years but still 2 years is harsh for a player especially when a player is near to his career end in 3-4 years but then again maybe its for the best to bury a lesson deep down in the brain of other players.
I guess he can make it 1 year as the article says:
In order to avoid the one-year suspended sentence coming into effect, Shakib must not commit any offence under the ACU code during the initial one-year suspension, and participate regularly in anti-corruption education and/or rehabilitation programmes.
I doubt he will be back in the team again as all these events started after Shakib lead the entire team to strike against the BCB and it was a rippling effect after that and now he is banned due to corruption and that too for not informing the ICC about bookies approaching him and historically we have seen that players being accused of such will find it hard to return to the team but in his case even Sheikh Haseena the Bangladesh PM is also supporting him and whether this will make any impact for his cricket career is to be seen.I guess he can make it 1 year as the article says:

He was well aware of all the rules but still didn't reported. Timing might make it suspicious that board pulled some strings and framed him (is what some guys here might be thinking) but he was well aware of all the policies and he still didn't reported the authority.
It had to come out one day or another.
I never expected this to happen all of a sudden, he was picked in the team for the tour of India and how these came to light all of a sudden, if he violated the ICC policies regarding match fixing then there is no point in appealing against it but it looks really harsh to ban a player this long for not informing the ICC about someone approaching to fix the match, if he done anything then he should have being banned for life but this one was too harsh and it will be difficult for him to make a comeback again as he cannot play cricket further and his cricketing career is almost over by this ban.It had to come out one day or another.

He has agreed that some bookies contacted him for match fixing. The problem he facing is, this has to be reported to the International Cricket Council. He didn't do that, and now for this reason he has been banned from the cricket team for two years. I don't think he'll get back to form if he gets into the playing eleven after two years.
To get a ban now after Shakib al Hasan leading the strike against the BCB has everything to do with the ban and i was wondering how can these players strike against a cricket board and now we saw the final result, the man who was leading the strike is now banned from cricket altogether and his career is almost over and even if the ban is removed i do not think that he will be selected in the team once again. It is really unfortunate to see the Bangladesh's legendary players career to end like this.Well... at least some of the blame should be taken by Shakib now. He is one of the most experienced international cricketers, having represented the national side in more than 300 matches. He was aware of all the ICC rules and regulations, and still chose to ignore them (for reasons only known to him). I still believe that the timing is very suspicious and the BCB is going for revenge. But how can you justify him, when he has admitted to the charges that have been levelled against him by the ICC?
As a player he should be well aware of the rules and regulation of ICC and i am sure the BCB does knew about these development too and once Shakib al Hasan regrouped the entire team members to strike against them the BCB had other plans and they did everything in their power to show the rest of the team members of the implications they will be facing if they are fighting against the board.

It will be shame for all of us if you guys still think BCB has nothing to do with this.
