Controversial all-rounder Sabbir Rahman decided to get married as he completed his engagement privately with a girl called Arpa at his residence recently.
There were lots of allegations against Sabbir that had forced him to be labelled with a ‘bad boy’ image. The marriage is expected to end it all as according to many close to him it will help him to be more disciplined.
Arpa is a student of HSC second-year and it was learnt that they are expected to have a grand reception soon.
“I will let it known to everyone one my reception date is fixed,’’ Sabbir told reporters. Bangladesh Cricket Board reduced the international ban on Sabbir Rahman, making him available for selection for the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand.
Sabbir took the opportunity with both hands as he struck his maiden ODI’s century in Bangladesh will tour New Zealand right after completing the BPL in the first week of February for a three-match series.
Sabbir was slapped a six-month ban from international cricket by the BCB in September 2018 for his repeated off-field issues, the latest one being his social network fiasco where he was alleged to have abused and threatened a fan on Facebook.
According to the sanction imposed, Sabbir's ban is due to continue until February 28 but it had been reduced on the insistence of ODI skipper Mashrafe Mortaza who was impressed by his performance in the ongoing BPL 2019.
Sabbir has been charged in the past for a number of issues like physically assaulting a fan during a National Cricket League match in Rajshahi, using abusive words while replying to a Facebook post of a fan and hitting team-mate Mehedi Hasan during the Afghanistan series.
At the time of being slapped the six-month ban for the Facebook fiasco, the hard-hitting batsman was still serving a six-month ban from domestic cricket and had been denied a national contract along with a fine of Tk 20 lakh. In 2016, he was fined 30 per cent of his BPL contract money for bringing a female guest to his hotel room.
