Bangladeshi international cricketer Al-Amin Hossain has been embroiled in a domestic violence case filed by his wife since September 7. 

More recently, his arrest warrant was cancelled by a Dhaka court after he failed to show up to a court hearing. However, his lawyer argued that the player would have been unable to attend the hearing because he was playing in a four-day match of the National Cricket League in Khulna, which started on Monday, October 10.
