Two young batsmen, Asif Ahmed and Mominul Haque, have been summoned by the Bangladesh Cricket Board's disciplinary committee for their failure to report to the Bangladesh A team for the warm-up match against England Lions, played in Chittagong on January 6.

Ahmed, 19, and Mominul, 20, are playing for Gazi Tank Cricketers in the ongoing Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League. They were selected in the Bangladesh A squad for a warm-up match ahead of a five-match one-day series that the touring England Lions will play against Bangladesh A. However, their club did not want them to play the game as they had a Dhaka Premier League game on January 4 against Victoria Sporting Club and another scheduled for January 8.

There has been an ongoing power struggle between the BCB and the Dhaka clubs over the selection of players for Bangladesh A as England Lions' tour clashes with the Dhaka Premier League. After Gazi Tank did not let Ahmed and Mominul go to Chittagong, the selectors were forced to call up two benched cricketers from Cricket Coaching School (CCS), another Premier League side, less than 12 hours before the practice game.

After a meeting on January 7 between the clubs' representative body - Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis - and the selection panel, it was decided that the league will be given a break of three days while the selectors will have to select three different squads for the first three games of the five-match series.

The BCB have expressed disappointment at the failure of the players to report for duty with the A side, and their disciplinary committee has now summoned Ahmed and Mominul
