The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has formed an independent inquiry committee which will support the board and its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) with integrity issues and investigations on the spot-fixing allegations that has marred the ongoing edition of the Bangladesh Premier League,

Hannan insisted that he didn’t feel any pressure while working as a national selector since March last year.

A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official yesterday said that the board has decided to form an independent inquiry body to support the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) investigations regarding the alleged match and spot-fixing issues in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

The Daily Star identified at least two cricketers outside of the official team lists in the players' dugout

In the end, what suffered was Bangladesh cricket’s need for decentralisation, which would put a stop to notions that “Dhaka’s club cricket is Bangladesh cricket”.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced that it will provide financial support for FIDE Master Tahsin Tajwar Zia, son of the late Grandmaster Ziaur Rahman, as he embarks on a series of international chess tournaments.

The BPL’s payment issue was also a major topic at the meeting.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed on Thursday assured Dhaka First Division Cricket League players that the board would start the league this month, promising to hold the tournament without any disturbance.

Recent tensions between Dhaka-based cricket clubs and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) over proposed constitutional amendments have thrown the future of the league and the livelihoods of many players into uncertainty.

Former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud, also a former director of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), has seen all the corridors of BCB, club cricket and franchise cricket in the country. Mahmud, who is coaching Dhaka Capitals in what has been a lacklustre campaign in the Bangladesh Premier League so far, gave his insights about the ongoing payment issues in the BPL, the state of his team and their star batter Liton Das, and Dhaka’s club cricket scenario in an interview with The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:

Over the past week, club officials have raised concerns regarding certain proposals made by the constitution amendment committee, led by BCB director Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, which they believe could harm the country’s cricket.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Nazmul Abedeen Fahim said that the Women’s Bangladesh Premier League will help to improve women’s cricket in the country.

Club officials have vehemently criticised the new changes in TV and print media reports over the past few days.

The Dhaka-based clubs have given Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) an ultimatum to revoke the proposed changes to the BCB constitution. The proposed changes being considered by a five-member committee, led by BCB director Najmul Abedeen Fahim, were leaked in the media recently.

The BCB has the opportunity to make changes to the Champions Trophy squad till next month. It rarely makes it easy to rule out abnormality. So, is there another twist around the corner or have we seen the last of Shakib in national colours?

This will be the first time in 18 years that Bangladesh will play in an ICC event without both Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan

Tamim had a chance to rewrite the ending by taking part in the ICC Champions Trophy, starting next month, but eventually chose not to.

The selectors had approached Tamim during the ongoing Sylhet phase of the Bangladesh Premier League, presenting the 35-year-old with an opportunity to rejoin the squad. While the southpaw listened to their proposition and mulled over his prospects, he ultimately decided against making a comeback.

With the Champions Trophy squad submission deadline looming on January 12, the decision to reintroduce a player to a national team plagued by batting consistency raises eyebrows.

Former BCB director Khaled Mahmud Sujon came down heavily on the pair of Faruque Ahmed and Nazmul Abedeen over perceived 'greed' related to cricket operations department. Faruque, as the BCB president is currently heading the department as no standing committees are yet to be announced with only few board directors available.
