Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hassan has said that Shakib Al Hasan, the current Test captain of the Bangladesh national team, will be axed from the national side if he does not terminate his sponsorship deal with Betwinner News.

He said, "There is no option to think about Shakib's sponsor. BCB is holding firm in the position it had from the first day.

“I said that there will be zero tolerance in this matter. BCB will not accept it."

Nazmul added, "There can be no connections (between Shakib and Betwinner News). He has to come out of it completely. He won't even be in the squad if he doesn't, captaincy comes next. There is no scope for discussion. The decision had been made earlier."
