BCCI confirms Shami stayed in Dubai for two days

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed to Kolkata Police that India pacer Mohammed Shami stayed in a hotel in Dubai on February 17 and 18.

BCCI’s response came after a letter was sent to the Board by the Kolkata Police seeking Shami’s schedule last month. Police sought the details to check if he had gone to Dubai as claimed by his wife Hasin Jahan.

Earlier in the week, Shami had pledged full co-operation from his side and his family as a Kolkata Police team arrived at his house in Amroha, to continue investigations into the allegations levelled against him by his wife. Shami’s wife had earlier alleged that Shami abused her physically and mentally on multiple occasions and has been involved in extramarital affairs. Consequently, a case has also been registered against Shami under various non-bailable and bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code.
