Bangladesh cricket board appeal to ICC to reconsider Taskin Ban

Hassan later spoke to ESPNCricinfo and confirmed the communication to the ICC and appealed to the governing body to withdraw their decision to ban Taskin Ahmed.

"We are not convinced about Taskin as of now. We don't have any reason to be satisfied with the report. And that's disappointing, so we have appealed to the ICC. We have a few grounds and we have said these things according to logic. Only the ICC can withdraw the ICC's decision, which is why I am talking to the ICC directly. It won't be right to disclose what we presented as our logic. I can tell you that we have done everything possible," BCB president Nazmul Hassan told ESPNCricinfo.

"If we take the legal way, then we can forget Taskin playing in the World T20. I don't think it will be solved any time in the future. It would be a lengthy procedure but as of now I am trying to avoid that way, and trying to see if something can be done immediately through a shortcut. It's very difficult, but I have not left hope as yet. I feel that there is a slight possibility for Taskin to join us as soon as possible,” Hassan said.
