imageOn Friday, a one-match ban, Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was found guilty of uttering abusive language during the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Twenty20 competition.

According to media reports, The Bangladesh Cricket Board BCB in a media statement issued and said on-field umpires Sharfuddoula and Tanvir Ahmed reported Shakib for ‘using abusive language’ after dismissing Superstars' batsman Dilshan Munaweera in the fourth over of the innings.

The ban came after the star all-rounder directed 'offensive and abusive language' towards umpire Ahmed in the 13th over after the latter had turned down an appeal.

Shakib, who was also fined around $250 on Friday, was suspended by the Bangladesh Cricket Board for six months last year for a “severe attitude problem” although the punishment was later reduced after he apologized.

The third edition of the BPL began last weekend, resuming after the 2013 competition was marred by a match-fixing scandal.
