Bangladesh's Test opener Saif Hassan has been fined over overstaying in India after the conclusion of the India-Bangladesh series and was charged a heavy penalty. The Bangladesh opener was stopped at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (NSCBI) in Kolkata while boarding a flight back to Dhaka with an invalid visa, which neither Saif Hassan or the Bangladesh team management were aware of. Saif Hasan was ruled out of the team's first-ever pink-ball Test due to split webbing. He was issued a visa by the High Commission in Dhaka on Wednesday but was asked to pay the penalty.
