Bans on Mamunul, Sohel lifted

Sports Reporter
... The National Teams Committee (NTC) of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) yesterday lifted the suspensions on
former captain Mamunul Islam and winger Sohel Rana, paving the way for their return to the national fold ahead of the Asian Cup Qualifiers play-offs in June.
The decision was made at an emergency NTC meeting after Mamunul and Sohel sought exemptions from their respective suspensions. NTC chairman Kazi Nabil Ahmed had earlier said that they would consider withdrawing the bans if the suspended players appealed.
"As they apologised and sought clemency for their deeds, we have lifted their suspensions. They will now be called for the ongoing training camp of the national
football team and considered for the final squad if they can prove themselves in the preliminary camp," said BFF senior vice president Abdus Salam Murshey at the BFF House on Thursday.
The game’s governing body on March 2 suspended four national players --Mamunul, Sohel, Zahid Hossain and Yeasin Khan - for different periods on disciplinary grounds. Mamunul and Zahid were handed one-year bans each while Sohel and Yeasin were suspended for six months each. NTC chairman Kazi Nabil Ahmed had earlier said that there was no room to withdraw the suspensions if the players appealed for it.
Murshedy also explained the reasons behind the withdrawal of the suspension.
"The national football team could not produce the expected results in last three tournaments and our aim to lift the suspension is so that we can do better in upcoming matches [of the Asian Cup Qualifiers playoff against Tajikistan] and move forward," said Murshedy, who was invited to the NTC meeting though he is not a member of the National Teams Committee.
Bangladesh will play their first match against Tajikistan on June 2 in Dushanbe before hosting the central Asian nation in Dhaka on June 7.
Meanwhile, winger Zahid and defender Yeasin have not yet appealed to have their suspensions lifted but the federation will consider their pleas if they do.
Manager Satyajit Das Rupu
informed that they have already started the procedure to call Mamunul and Sohel for the preliminary camp of the national team while Tapu Barman and Monaem Khan Raju joined the camp after arriving from Philippines on Wednesday night. Three players of Sheikh Jamal DC -- Mohammad Linkon, Mazharul Islam Himel, Kesto Kumar - reported to the team manager and returned to the club tent The players from Chittagong Abahani were yet to join the camp last night.
Head coach Lodewijk de Kruif is scheduled to fly out from Netherlands on May 15.
