BCB director removed over his controversial statement on players

Director Nazmul Islam was removed by BCB on Thursday, who was accused of making inappropriate statements regarding players, after an intense protest by players in Bangladesh and a boycott of the Bangladesh Premier League.

Nazmul Islam used strong words, including not providing financial compensation to the players in case of Bangladesh’s boycott of the World Cup.

According to sources, the protests of the Bangladeshi players have finally taken effect, and the Cricket Board has announced the immediate removal of Director Nazmul Islam from his post.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board says that Nazmul Islam’s statement regarding the players has been declared inappropriate, after which this decision was taken. It should be remembered that Bangladeshi players had strongly reacted against Nazmul Islam’s statement and boycotted the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). The players were of the view that such statements are unacceptable and are affecting the cricketing atmosphere.

The Bangladesh Players Association also took a strong stand on the issue and threatened not to play cricket until their demands were met.

The BPL matches were affected due to the mass protest of the players, after which the cricket board had to take immediate action.

After the dismissal of Nazmul Islam by the cricket board, it is expected that the players will end their protest, and the BPL affairs will return to normal.
