Overview
- The BCB removed M Najmul Islam as finance committee chairman after a unified player no‑show caused two BPL matches in Dhaka to be postponed.
- The board president took over the finance role on an interim basis and issued a show‑cause notice giving Islam 48 hours to respond.
- Islam had said players would not be compensated if Bangladesh skipped the T20 World Cup and questioned payouts of “crores of taka,” drawing rebukes from CWAB and senior players including Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
- CWAB stated cricketers will return from Friday if Islam makes a public apology and the process to address his board directorship continues, though no final decision on ending the boycott has been announced.
- The row sits atop Bangladesh’s push to shift its T20 World Cup group games from India to co‑host Sri Lanka, a relocation the ICC has resisted while fixtures remain scheduled for Kolkata and Mumbai.
