Towhid Hridoy, one of the most talked-about figures in Bangladesh cricket in recent weeks, has been handed a four-match suspension in the Dhaka Premier League following a fresh breach of conduct.

The Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) issued the ban after Hridoy showed visible dissent after his dismissal during Friday’s match against Gazi Group Cricketers.

Although summoned for a hearing, the Mohammedan Sporting Club player did not appear. As a result, match referee Akhtar Ahmed fined him BDT 10,000 and added one more demerit point to his record.

Hridoy already had seven demerit points from previous offenses. With the latest addition, he now accumulates eight points, which under Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) code of conduct automatically triggers a four-match ban.

The CCDM has confirmed that the suspension takes immediate effect, ruling Hridoy out of Mohammedan’s crucial clash against Abahani Limited, widely regarded as the "unofficial final" of the league, reports UNB.
