Shakib Al Hasan was given a two-year ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday. Former England captain Michael Vaughan said the ban on the Bangladesh all-rounder “should have been longer”.
Michael Vaughan tweeted that he had no sympathy for Shakib Al Hasan and that players are given regular briefings and know what they have to report straight away. “No sympathy what’s so ever for Shakib Al Hasan … Non what’s so ever,” Vaughan tweeted. “In this era the players get briefed all the time about what they can & cant do and what that have to report straight away … 2 yrs isn’t enough … Should have been longer,” he added.
Shakib Al Hasan was banned from all cricket for two years (one year suspended) by the ICC, after he “accepted three charges of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code”.
