DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan has been banned from cricket for one year for breaching the anti-corruption code.
The International Cricket Council says Shakib admitted to three charges of failing to disclose full details of approaches or invitations he received to engage in corrupt conduct in January 2018 during the triseries featuring Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, and during 2018 Indian Premier League.
Shakib, the test and Twenty20 captain, also agreed to the sanction in lieu of a hearing.
The ICC says he's free to resume international cricket from Oct. 29, 2020.
