Dhaka: Bangladesh cricket have pulled a raunchy advert starring new Test star Sabbir Rahman and a model following social media outrage in the religiously conservative country, an industry official said yesterday.

The advert has been airing on television since August but drew fresh attention this week after Sabbir's superb batting brought the nation agonisingly close to its first-ever victory over England.

The advert shows Sabbir holed up inside his house drinking a nonalcoholic malt beverage called Oscar before being discovered by the model who is dressed as a policewoman.

The model seductively handcuffs the 24-year-old batsman before he responds that drinking Oscar means "a little privacy is indeed needed".
