Bangladesh all-rounder Nasir Hossain could end up getting himself in trouble for adultery. He has gone under trial after a man claimed the batsman illegally married his wife after per his lawyers. Hossain got married to Tamima Sultana in February 2021. Meanwhile her first husband, Rakib Hasan has filed a case against the Bangladesh international cricketer saying that they both are still married.

Farid Uddin Khan, the lawyer representing Nasir Hossain and his wife has also had his say on the matter. He said that the charges against Hosain will be tough to prove and he will be proved not guilty.
