ACC not to renew Shakib’s contract

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will not consider cricketer Shakib Al Hasan as its goodwill ambassador.

“Although he is still the goodwill ambassador as per the contract, it will not be renewed. He will not be part of the upcoming International Anti-Corruption Day programmes,” ACC Commissioner Md Mozammel Haque Khan told the media on Thursday.

According to the rules, the anti-graft body still has a contract with him. But Shakib Al Hasan is now considered “controversial” on various issues. The ACC does not want to associate itself with any controversial person, Mozammel said.
