Three months on, the issue has reared its head again as ACSU officials were recently in the country to continue their investigation into that game and a few others in the last edition of the BPL. And whispers suggest that at least one high-profile name is among a number of cricketers against whom fingers have been raised.
The ACSU officials interrogate high-profile local and overseas players including Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Ashraful, with the latter apparently raising the most concerns as captain of the Dhaka Gladiators team in some suspicious games. ACSU officials may submit their findings to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) very soon.
It seems that the ACSU’s move has happened quietly with only a few BCB high-ups in the know about wrong-doings during the BPL.
