Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has banned former cricketer Shariful Haque for indefinite period for his role in the spot-fixing allegations made against him by Mashrafe Mortaza ahead of the Bangladesh Premier League, BCB president said today.

A day before BPL started, Mashrafe had claimed that he was approached by Shariful and the committee that was formed to probe the claims, headed by BCB's senior vice-president Mahbubul Anam, has substantiated the claims.
