The arrest warrant for Bangladeshi cricketer Al-Amin Hossain was cancelled by a Dhaka court in a domestic violence case registered against him by his wife, according to United News Bangladesh.
Al-Amin was unable to appear before the court as he is currently playing the four-day National Cricket League in Khulna, which started on Monday, according to his lawyer Md Abdur Rahman Sumon.
The domestic violence case was registered against Al-Amin by his wife Israt after she lodged a complaint against him which said that the cricketer was torturing her because she refused to pay a dowry of Tk 20 lakh.

Who is Al-Amin Hossain?
Al-Amin Hossain Rian is a Bangladeshi international cricketer. He made his international debut for the Bangladesh cricket team in 2014.
Born on January 1, 1990 in Jhenaidah in Bangladesh, Al-Amin graduated from the University of Rajshahi before diving headfirst into his cricket career.
He was first noticed by Bangladesh’s fast-bowling coach Sarwar Imran sometime in 2011. Al-Amin was then asked to attend a pace bowlers’ camp at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Also in 2011, he helped Khulna defeat Chittagong by eight wickets in Jessore.
Fast forward to 2012, Al-Amin was made part of the Bangladesh “A” squad to play against the England Lions. In his first ever ODI, the pacer quickly destroyed the top order, taking the wickets of four batsmen in succession, bringing the Lions to 38 for 4.

Then in 2013, he went on another bowling rampage in his domestic and franchise career, going 6 for 16 and rolling the first five batsmen of Cricket Coaching School, a Bangladeshi cricket team in the Dhaka Premier League.
His international debut was with the Bangladesh test squad against New Zealand. Al-Amin was even selected to be a part of the 15-man squad in the 2015 cricket World Cup but was sent home after it was discovered that he broke team curfew.
