He faces the prospect of a one-year ban from the National Cricket League by the Bangladesh Cricket Board for his actions on Day 2 of a match between Dhaka Division and Khulna Division on Sunday. Shahadat was reportedly angered by Arafat’s remarks to the effect that he was not competent enough to shine the ball before lashing out at him. His actions amount to a level 4 offence in the BCB’s code of conduct, and he is understood to have accepted the consequences. Match referee Akhtar Ahmed told reporters that he has no authority to punish Shahadat for what he has done. The BCB will decide whether to punish him after the verification of the incident.”
