Bangladesh fast bowler Rubel Hossain flew out to join the tour of South Africa yesterday after his departure was delayed by a bizarre case of mistaken identity involving a look-a-like namesake with a criminal record.
Rubel departed nearly a week late after officials proved he was not the unknown man barred by South African authorities, who had the same name, similar personal details and looked identical in his photo."We received a photo, name and other information and all these things completely matched with Rubel though the person was different. The person they had banned was not our player Rubel," Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan told reporters.
