Dhaka Capitals' decision to bench Sabbir Rahman due to disciplinary issues has raised eyebrows.
- The Capitals acquired Sabbir in the draft, suggesting they had plans for him in their batting lineup.
- However, despite playing three matches in the ongoing BPL, Sabbir has yet to feature in the playing XI.
- This exclusion sparked speculation on social media, which was addressed by coach Khaled Mahmud Sujon, who confirmed the disciplinary action.
- Sabbir's history of disciplinary issues, including a six-month suspension by the BCB in 2018 for allegedly assaulting a fan, has fueled concerns about his professionalism.
Sabbir Rahman faced a 2 million Taka fine in 2018 following a serious disciplinary incident. His career has been marred by numerous controversies, both before and after this event. In the recent Bangladesh Premier League, Dhaka Capitals benched Sabbir, citing a combination of disciplinary issues and team selection concerns.
- Initial explanations from the coach emphasized team combination as the primary factor. However, subsequent comments by Sujon revealed that disciplinary concerns, particularly Sabbir's absence from a crucial practice session, played a significant role in his exclusion.
- Sujon acknowledged that Sabbir's absence from the January 1st practice session was a breach of team discipline and a key factor in his non-selection for the January 2nd match.
- This incident further highlights the ongoing challenges Sabbir faces in maintaining discipline and adhering to team expectations.
Despite the disciplinary action, coach Sujon expressed confidence in Sabbir's cricketing abilities and hinted at his potential inclusion in the Dhaka Capitals' playing XI from the Sylhet phase of the BPL.
- Sujon emphasized the need for open communication within the team, stating that had Sabbir informed the team about his absence from the practice session, the situation would not have escalated into a disciplinary issue.
- He acknowledged that players sometimes skip practice before a match, but he prefers them to either attend practice or at least inform the team of their absence.
- Sujon stressed the importance of team discipline and the need for players to be accountable for their actions.
Coach Khaled Mahmud Sujon expressed his surprise at Sabbir Rahman's absence from the January 1st practice session, stating that neither he nor the team manager were aware of Sabbir's intention to skip practice.
- Sujon revealed that Sabbir has since acknowledged his mistake and apologized for his absence.
- Despite the recent disciplinary issues, Sujon expressed confidence in Sabbir's ability to contribute positively to the team moving forward.
- Dhaka Capitals, currently struggling with three consecutive losses in the Dhaka phase of the BPL, will aim to turn their fortunes around in Sylhet, beginning with their match against Rangpur Riders on January 7th.
