Sabbir fined for disrespectful behaviour

Bangladesh middle-order batsman Sabbir Rahman has been fined Tk 50,000 for disrespectful behaviour and racial remarks towards spinner Elias Sunny.

Sultan Mahmud, manager of Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club, has also been fined the same amount, the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) said this in a press release on Thursday.

Earlier on Monday, Sabbir allegedly slagged Sunny with indecent words during the match between Sheikh Jamal and Legends of Rupganj at BKSP.

Another allegation surfaced that he threw a stone towards Sunny and called him 'Kailla,' 'Kailla,' which roughly translated into the black man at BKSP on the following day.

Later, Sunny's team Sheikh Jamal formally filed a complaint to CCDM in this regard.
