Bangladesh Players End Boycott After BCB Strips Director of Finance Role, BPL Set to Resume

A late‑night deal halted the revolt after assurances of disciplinary action.

Overview

  • The BCB removed M Najmul Islam as chairman of its finance committee, issued a show‑cause notice, and confirmed formal disciplinary proceedings.
  • Two BPL matches and four Dhaka Cricket League games were not played on Thursday after players refused to take the field.
  • Fixtures were reworked, with the BCB announcing revised BPL dates beginning Friday to restart the tournament.
  • Players agreed to return following talks, though CWAB continues to press for the director’s full removal and a public apology, which some reports say he has already issued.
  • Islam remains a BCB director for now, and the board’s separate dispute with the ICC over relocating Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup group matches from India is still unresolved.
