&quot;I should have not done this injustice to the nation. I feel guilty,&quot; he told the Independent TV channel in a televised interview. &quot;I would only say &#39;Please all forgive me, my conduct was improper&#39;,&quot; he added. His apology came shortly after the Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan announced the right-handed batsman had been suspended pending the full report of an investigation by the International Cricket Council. <img alt="Mohammad Ashraful" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jun/04Mohammad-Ashraful.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 339px;" /> Mohammad Ashraful. Pic/AFP The ICC&#39;s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) has been probing allegations of match-fixing during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), a Twenty20 competition. &quot;I felt that I have done an injustice, so I have told them (the ACSU team) the truth at the first chance. I tried to help the ICC as much as I could for the welfare of our cricket,&quot; Ashraful said. &quot;You all know me, I have been playing international cricket for 12 years. I did not tell them a single lie,&quot; he added. Ashraful became the country&#39;s youngest Test centurion in 2001 at the age of 17 and captained Bangladesh between 2007 and 2009. The alleged fixing involves a match between the Dhaka Gladiators and the Chittagong Kings teams during the second edition of the BPL. Local media have reported that 28-year-old Gladiators star Ashraful was allegedly paid about one million taka ($12,800) to lose the February 2 match.u00a0
