Bangladesh Captain Nigar Sultana Denies Assault Claims, Invokes Harmanpreet Kaur in Rebuttal

Her denial follows claims aired from Australia by ex-pacer Jahanara Alam.

Overview

  • Nigar Sultana told Daily Cricket she has never gotten physical with teammates and asked, “Am I Harmanpreet?” in a reference to the Indian captain’s 2023 on‑field outburst.
  • Former pacer Jahanara Alam, speaking from Australia, alleged juniors told her the captain had hit them, including pleas such as “Please save us.”
  • Sultana questioned why any victim would call a former player overseas rather than report concerns to team management or officials.
  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board has publicly rejected the accusations and expressed support for Sultana and the current management.
  • As of Nov. 18, there is no reported independent finding resolving the physical assault allegations.
