Overview
- Two BPL matches were postponed on Thursday after a no‑show boycott, and the league resumed Friday on a revised schedule issued overnight.
- BCB director Najmul Islam was stripped of his finance committee chair and issued a public apology accepted by players, but he remains on the board under a show‑cause notice.
- CWAB said players would return once an apology was made and the removal process advanced, and it continues to press for full accountability.
- The boycott followed Islam’s disparaging remarks about player compensation and performance, which drew public rebukes from senior cricketers and officials.
- Internationally, Bangladesh still seeks to shift its T20 World Cup group games from India to Sri Lanka, while the ICC has judged the Indian venues safe and shown reluctance to move fixtures.
