Overview
- Former pacer Jahanara Alam told Kaler Kantho that Nigar Sultana repeatedly hit junior teammates, citing a Dubai tour incident and claims relayed from the recent Women’s World Cup.
- The Bangladesh Cricket Board issued a statement calling the allegations baseless and fabricated, saying it found no evidence and expressing full confidence in the team’s leadership and management.
- Reports noted that Nigar Sultana had not publicly responded to the accusations at the time of publication.
- Alam has been out of the national setup after requesting a mental‑health break and removal from central contracts earlier this year, and she is currently based in Sydney.
- The claims surfaced soon after Bangladesh finished seventh at the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, where the team recorded a single win over Pakistan.
