Pakistan cricketer accused of bringing a female guest to his hotel room

Dhaka: A Pakistani cricketer was accused of bringing a female guest to his hotel room during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). The cricketer has been warned by the officials for his actions, according to a report by Sportskeeda.

The name of the cricketer, who plays as an all-rounder, has not been revealed by the authorities. The cricketer was warned about the girl in particular as she is on the list of the anti-corruption investigators.

A source close to the BPL told Sportskeeda, “The Pakistani player escaped any financial penalties as he was an overseas signing.”

“The organisers had advised the players to not invite female guests to their rooms. In the case of this Pakistani player, he was advised in particular about a foreign national girl who was on the watch list of the anti-corruption sleuths in the BPL. The matter was hushed up on the intervention of top cricket officials but the BPL organisers are also not happy with his overall behaviour.”

Earlier, Bangladeshi International’s Sabbir Rahman and Al-Amin Hossain were also caught for bringing female guests to their hotel rooms and were charged with heavy fines.

Around 18 players from Pakistan participated in the Bangladesh T20 tournament which concluded recently.
