The much awaited ICC Anti Corruption and Security Unit (Acsu) report on Bangladesh Premier League corruption and also Mohammad Ashraful’s involvement with the spot fixing scandals has been delayed until the first week of August but as Ashraful confessed to his wrong doings, he will remain suspended and unable to play the Dhaka Premier League (DPL), which will start in July, informed the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan on Saturday. Nazmul is expected to return from England today after attending the ICC conference. “Because Ashraful is already temporarily suspended and the report is still not submitted, we don’t know what sort of decision we should take against him. He won’t play in this tournament, the rest can play. “They haven’t completed the report”, Nazmul said. “They are yet to complete interviews outside Bangladesh. As a result, they have asked for more time. From what I have understood after talking to them, I think we will most probably get the report in the first week of August,” informed Nazmul. Nazmul also discussed the possibility of further investigation and talked about the DPL. “We could also have to do further investigation or form a tribunal, which is within the rules. The tribunal will take time, and since this is a lengthy procedure, it is not wise to hasten such a matter. We will start the league very soon,” he said. The league has been delayed three times already. It was first supposed to be held in March and has changed dates twice in July. Meanwhile, ICC has given Bangladesh an August deadline to achieve satisfactory standards for its stadiums for next year’s World Twenty20 tournament. The ICC’s International Development Board will inspect the venues in August for the final time. The ICC had previously expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of certain venues. “The IDI board reviewed an inspection report by the ICC venue consultant and expressed its concern regarding the progress of construction and improvements to playing facilities in Cox’s Bazar and Sylhet,” an ICC statement read. According to ICC rules, the venues need to be ready six months ahead of the tournament, including all the accommodation requirements for the teams. The BCB has stated that it remains confident that all the ICC deadlines will be met. “There is absolutely no doubt the work would be completed in due time. The government had started work late in Sylhet stadium but now it is in full swing. I have seen the work plan and I am convinced that it would be finished. “As for Cox’s Bazar, the major issue was the land. Now that we have land we are confident we will meet all the requirements,” said Nazmul.
