Bangladesh news BPL tribunal verdict set for June 8 The BPL tribunal will deliver the detailed judgement to all concerned parties in an email on Sunday, according to the convener of the three-member panel. The BCB, ICC and the accused will receive the documents in the afternoon. The sanction judgement, when those found guilty get a chance to appeal their sentences, will take place in mid-June, after which the judgements are expected to be made public. We will email them our verdict and the reasons behind them, Justice Khademul Islam told Dhaka Tribune. We will also explain the reasons why we acquitted six individuals in our short hearing in February. We will hold the sanction judgement on June 18 or 19. Both the prosecutors and the defendants will be able to appeal the tribunals complete decision during the sanction judgement. On February 26, the tribunal in its short judgement acquitted six of the nine individuals, players and officials charged with match-fixing-related offences during the 2013 BPL. Dhaka Gladiators chairman Salim Chowdhury, the franchises CEO Gaurav Rawat, bowling coach Mohammad Rafique, and three players including Mosharraf Hossain, Mahbubul Alam and Kent allrounder Darren Stevens were acquitted of all charges after the tribunal concluded its hearing. Almost immediately, both the ICC and the BCB had expressed disappointment over the verdict. Only Dhaka Gladiators co-owner Shihab Chowdhury was guilty of making an attempt to fix the Gladiators match against the Chittagong Kings in February last year. Ashraful confessed and pleaded guilty while the Sri Lanka legspinner Kaushal Lokuarachchi said he failed to report an approach made to him. Similarly, the BPL tribunal said back in February that Lou Vincent had also pleaded guilty to not reporting an illegal approach.
