DHAKA, April 27, 2025 (BSS)-Mohammedan captain Towhid Hridoy will serve a
four-match suspension, effective immediately after being found guilty of
breaching players code of conduct, a press release of Bangladesh Cricket
Board (BCB) said today.

The latest outcome meant he won't be able to play Mohammedan's crucial game
against Abahani Limited in the Dhaka Premier League (DPL) on Tuesday, a game
which turned to be unofficial final.

The incident happened during Mohammedan's game against Gazi Group Cricketers
in a DPL match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) on
Saturday.

The charge of showing dissent at an umpire's decision during the match was
brought by on-field umpires Moniruzzaman Tinku and Ali Arman Rajon, third
umpire Muhammad Kamruzzaman, and fourth official ATM Ikram.

Hridoy denied the charge and opted to contest it at a full disciplinary
hearing. However, despite prior communication, he failed to appear at the
hearing scheduled in the umpires' dressing room, the release informed.

"In accordance with Clause 5.2.6 of the Code of Conduct for the DPDCL 2024-
25, Match Referee Akhtar Ahmad proceeded with the matter and imposed a
sanction: a fine of Taka 10,000 and the addition of one demerit point," the
press release said.

Hridoy was found guilty of committing a Level 1 offence under Article 2.8 of
the BCB Code of Conduct, which relates to "Showing Dissent at an Umpire's
Decision during a Match." Level 1 offences carry a minimum sanction of a
warning and a maximum penalty of Taka 40,000 and/or one or two demerit
points.

This latest demerit point brings Hridoy's total to eight demerit points,
including seven accumulated from previous breaches. As a result, he will
serve a four (4)-match suspension, effective immediately, the release
concluded.
