ACC won’t renew Shakib’ contract as goodwill ambassador over ‘controversy’
Sports Desk
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will not consider cricketer Shakib Al Hasan as its goodwill ambassador.
“Although he is still the goodwill ambassador as per contract, the contract will not be renewed. He will not be part of the upcoming International Anti-Corruption Day programs,” Commissioner of the investigation department of ACC, Mozammel Haque, said today.
Haque was speaking to media.
According to the rules, ACC still has a contract with him. But Shakib Al Hasan is now considered “controversial” on various issues. ACC does not want to associate itself with any controversial person, Haque said.
All-rounder Shakib was made the goodwill ambassador of the anti-corruption watchdog to campaign against corruption in Bangladesh. ACC made the announcement on February 11, 2018.
