Overview
- Two Bangladesh Premier League fixtures and additional domestic games were postponed after players did not report to the grounds, triggering a nationwide stoppage.
- The Bangladesh Cricket Board removed director Nazmul Islam as finance committee chairman with immediate effect and assigned the president as acting chair after issuing a show-cause notice earlier in the day.
- Islam’s remarks that players should repay money and would not be compensated if Bangladesh skips the T20 World Cup drew condemnation from CWAB and senior cricketers.
- CWAB said players would resume from Friday if Islam makes a public apology and if steps proceed on his board directorship, but no definitive end to the boycott has been announced.
- The crisis intersects with Bangladesh’s request to shift its T20 World Cup group matches from India to Sri Lanka, a move the ICC has been reluctant to approve, leaving venue talks unresolved.
