Al-Amin to be sent back

DHAKA: Bangladesh pace bowler Al-Amin Hossain will be sent home after breaking a team curfew in Brisbane on February 19.

Team manager Khaled Mahmud confirmed saying that the ACSU (Anti-Corruption and Security Unit) informed the Bangladesh team management of Al-Amin staying outside the team hotel after the 10pm deadline.

"Normally if a player has to stay outside after 10pm, he has to take the management's permission," Mahmud said. "We were not aware that Al-Amin left the hotel after that time, and were later informed by the ACSU of his transgression. 

He will be sent home as soon as possible." Mahmud denied that Al-Amin's suspension had any links with corruption.

Bangladesh were supposed to play Australia in Brisbane on February 21, but the match was washed out.

Al-Amin has played 11 ODIs for Bangladesh since early 2014, but none at this World Cup.
