The Bangladesh Cricket Board has suspended him from all forms of cricket.

Hossain, 29, submitted a bail petition before the court after his surrender, his lawyer Kazi Mohammad Nazibullah Hiru said. The court sent him to jail after rejecting the bail plea. Hossain and his wife deny the charges.

Hossain, who has played 38 Tests and 51 one-day internationals for Bangladesh, last played a Test against Pakistan this year but was then dropped because of injuries.

He was the first Bangladesh player to have his name added to the Lord’s honours board when he took five for 98 against England in May 2010.
