The Indian gambler, Deepak Agarwal, was behind the leak of Shakib. The ICC banned Shakib from all crickets for two years on three charges. However, the sentence was reduced to one year for admitting mistakes.
He committed three offenses within paragraph 2.4.4 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU). He was banned as he did not inform the ICC about the offer of fixing two international matches and one IPL game.
Shakib, one of the world’s all-rounders, received the first match-fixing offer in the 2018 IPL, which was played in The Tri-Series against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe in January 2018. But he did not give details to the ICC’s ACU.
The cricket star spent most of his time in the United States during the ban period. His wife, Umme Ahmed, gave birth to their second daughter. So, he spent the time with his family. But he helped the poor people of the country. He started a foundation in his own name and worked tirelessly. England sold the World Cup’s favorite bat to help people. He helped many, including food aid, buying corn kits, providing ambulances, and flood victims.
Shakib returned home after returning from a trip to Sri Lanka. He also performed a series of exercises on BKSP’s field after flying from the United States. He eventually went to the US after his Sri Lanka tour was postponed. But Shakib’s waiting period is over now. The T-20 League will begin on November 15. Bangladesh’s Shakib will return to the 22 yards with the T20 tournament.
