Players Accept Apology, BPL Set to Resume After Bangladesh Board Ousts Finance Chief

The revolt traces to a director’s claim that players would get no compensation if Bangladesh skipped World Cup games in India plus a slur aimed at Tamim Iqbal.

Overview

  • BCB removed M. Nazmul Islam as chairman of its Finance Committee with immediate effect, with the board president taking over in an acting capacity.
  • The player boycott led to the abandonment or postponement of multiple BPL games and Dhaka League fixtures after teams did not take the field.
  • BCB issued a show-cause notice and began disciplinary proceedings, while CWAB demanded a public apology and steps toward removing Nazmul from the board.
  • According to the latest reports, Nazmul issued a public apology and players agreed to return, with the BPL issued a revised schedule to restart play.
  • The dispute stems from Bangladesh’s push to move T20 World Cup matches out of India after Mustafizur Rahman’s IPL release, with the ICC reluctant to change venues.
