Nazmul Islam was removed as the finance committee chairman in the Bangladesh Cricket Board over his ‘India agent’ dig at former captain Tamim Iqbal.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have reinstated director M Nazmul Islam as finance committee chairman, according to The Daily Star. The development comes after the International Cricket Council (ICC) replaced Bangladesh with Scotland for the upcoming T20 Men’s World Cup 2026, which starts on February 7. “We had given our observation to the board, and the board made the call,” BCB disciplinary committee chairman Faiazur Rahman informed The Daily Star. Earlier, on January 18, Nazmul replied to the board’s show-cause notice a day after the deadline. The BCB disciplinary committee had previously found his reply to be positive and satisfactory but did not divulge its contents, according to The Daily Star.
Earlier, BCB Media Committee Chairman Amzad Hussain confirmed that the board will not challenge the ICC decision to replace them with Scotland in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Amzad Hussain made the announcement following a board meeting in Dhaka on Saturday. The news comes after reports stated that the BCB had requested the ICC’s dispute resolution committee to look into the matter, but Hussain cleared the air, stating that no such measures had been taken.
“We have accepted the decision of the ICC board. Since the ICC has said that we cannot go and play or they cannot shift our games to Sri Lanka, in this case we cannot go and play in India. Our position remains the same. We are not going to any separate arbitration or anything here,” Amzad said, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
