A Pakistani has been questioned by police over his suspected involvement in spot-fixing during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) Twenty20 [ Images ] tournament, a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official said on Sunday.
Karachi resident Sajid Khan [ Images ] arrived in Dhaka on February 10 and the BCB security chief Mesbahuddin Serniabat said they had been watching him since the BPL's Chittagong phase from February 18-22.
"His movement was very suspicious and we followed him from Chittagong," Serniabat said.
"We immediately took him to the visiting ICC [ Images ] Anti-Corruption and Security Unit official before handing him over to police."
Sajid made a call to Pakistan every time a six was struck while watching the game from a VIP area on top of a dressing room, Serniabat said. He also attempted to enter the players' zone on several occasions.
Former Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza [ Images ] alleged three weeks ago that he was approached by a former cricketer over spot-fixing.
