Bangladesh Players End BPL Boycott After Apology as BCB Starts Disciplinary Action

The league is set to resume on a revised schedule following a late-night truce that leaves the embattled director still on the board.

Overview

  • Two BPL matches on January 15 were abandoned after players refused to take the field in protest at remarks by BCB director Najmul Islam.
  • BCB removed Najmul from his role as finance committee chairman with immediate effect, with the board president serving as acting chair.
  • Formal disciplinary proceedings are underway, including a show-cause notice requiring Najmul to respond within 48 hours.
  • CWAB and senior players accepted a public apology and agreed to return, and the BPL calendar was reworked to restore postponed fixtures.
  • The broader dispute over Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup group games in India remains unresolved after the ICC signaled reluctance to shift venues.
