Mashrafe spills the beans

Sports Reporter
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza yesterday disclosed the name of the former national cricketer who approached him with a spot-fixing offer in the lead-up to the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL)T20.
The pace-spearhead appeared before two officials of the International Cricket Council's (ICC) AntiCorruption and Security Unit (ACSU) yesterday and revealed the name of the ex-cricketer who had approached him with a spot-fixing offer on the basis of what matches he would play and even what he would be wearing.
"Mashrafe spoke to the ACSU officials today where he disclosed the name but for further investigation it's not possible to make the name public,” said BCB's media committee chairman Jalal Yunus.
The name of Shariful Haque Plabon however has been reportedly suggested as the offender. The former off-spinner played only one one-day international against India in January 1998 at Dhaka. He spent his entire domestic career with Biman Bangladesh and now he is also an employee of Biman.
"I'm hundred percent honest and I am really upset that my name is coming. I have a long 22-year career in cricket and everybody knows me very well. I'm not afraid to face any kind of investigation because I know I'm innocent,” responded the 36-year-old former national cricketer Shariful Haque when asked about the allegation.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) however confirmed that they will take all necessary measures to unearth the truth and punish the culprit. The board also formed a four-member committee headed by BCB's senior vice-president Mahbub Anam to inquire into the alleged spot-fixing approach. Gazi Ashraf Hossain, BPL governing council chairman, Sirajuddin Mohammed Alamgir, secretary of BPL governing council and chairman of BCB disciplinary committee, and acting CEO of BCB Nizam Uddin Chowdhury are the other members.
“There is need for further investigation and after that we will set our next course of action regarding the issue. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards match-fixing which is why it is important for us to have a detailed inquiry into the matter. We are also working closely on this issue with the ACSU officials present in Dhaka,” said Gazi Ashraf.
“We will take the help of security agencies if needed because we have to unearth the truth and make sure the culprit does no t get away with it. We will file a case against the culprits if needed," said Yunus.
It was reportedly told that three other former national cricketers Sanwar Hossain, laved Omar and Khaled Masud were also present when Shariful Haque made a spot-fixing offer to Mashrafe.
"What I can say is that no stone will be left unturned," Yunus added when asked about the presence of the three other cricketers.
