There are a number of issues on the table but what kind of action the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is going to take against all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will be the top of the agenda when the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) board of directors meet today at its Mirpur headquarters.

BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon

already slammed Shakib for the all-rounder's latest controversy and made it clear that he will not hesitate to take a stern action. Now everybody is curious as to which level of offence will Shakib's recent activities fall under.

And what kind of punishment awaits Shakib, who returned home yesterday from London after the board had asked him to join the camp immediately as he had left the country, to play in the Caribbean Premier League, without obtaining the no-objection certificate (NOC) from the board?

According to sources in the BCB, there are about 10 levels of offence where the board can fine a player from Tk 5,000 to Tk 5 lakh. The code of conduct also states that a player can be suspended for different durations with the maximum penalty being a life ban for breaching the code.

There are no specific guidelines but the BCB has got the right to impose any kind of punishment on a player considering the gravity of the incident.

Breaching the BCB's protocol is a serious offence which Shakib committed by leaving the country without NOC while his heated argument with coach Chandika Hathurusingha added more weight to his indiscretion.

Another disciplinary action is also pending for the all-rounder as the board will also take a decision on the action to be taken on Shakib for leaving the dressing room and entering the stands and allegedly getting into a scuffle with an audience member during an ODI against India in June this year. A hearing was already held regarding the incident and the board also got the report from the team operations manager.

Papon also said that he will take a decision regarding the reshuffling of the team management including the team operations committee, which looks after the player-related issues.
