Shohely Akhter Khatun (Bengali: সোহেলী আক্তার) (born 16 June 1988) is a Bangladeshi cricketer who plays as a right-arm off break bowler.[1][2][3] She appeared in two One Day Internationals and five Twenty20 Internationals for Bangladesh in 2013 and 2014. She played domestic cricket for Dhaka Division.[4][5] In September 2022, she was selected in the team for Women's T20 Asia Cup in Bangladesh, coming back in national side after 8 years.
Akhter was born on 16 June 1988 in Rajbari District. She was part of the team that won a silver medal in cricket against the China national women's cricket team at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.[6][7]
International ban
[edit]Akhter was banned from all forms of cricket for five years by the International Cricket Council after she admitted breaching five provisions of the ICC anti-corruption code. She made an offer of ৳2 million (US$16,400 approx.) to the player to get out hit wicket during the match between Bangladesh and Australia in the 2023 Women's T20 World Cup which was held in South Africa. For failing to report those approaches made by her to the player, she was found guilty of breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code 2.1.1, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.4.4 and 2.4.7 and was handed a five-year ban.[8][9][10]
