Bangladesh ban Sabbir Rahman's raunchy TV drinks advertisement Wednesday Oct 26,2016



The Bangladesh Cricket Board has pulled a television advert starring one of their batsmen for being too raunchy.

Sabbir Rahman, who made his Test debut against England last week, stars in an advert for a Bangladesh soft drink that has been running on television since August 2016

The advert shows Sabbir drinking a bottle of Oscar, a non-alcoholic malt drink, before a model dressed as a policewoman handcuffs him. Sabbir says drinking Oscar means “a little privacy is indeed needed”.
Complaints on social media led the BCB to order the advert to be taken off television screens.

“Bangladesh Cricket Board has circulated a directive to stop broadcasting of the ad,” a Bangladesh Cricket Board official told the media. “It does not fit with the image of Bangladesh cricket.”
