"Two BPL matches and four games in the Dhaka Cricket League did not begin on Thursday"
Bangladesh Cricket Board has fired M Nazmul Islam as finance committee head after a players' boycott shut down BPL and Dhaka Cricket League games. Two BPL clashes and four domestic ties failed to start Thursday as tensions boiled over.
Board Bows to Players' Revolt
Islam's resignation demand stemmed from his controversial suggestion that players fund a potential T20 World Cup 2026 pullout amid India political heat. BCB president Aminul Islam stepped in post-toss no-shows by teams like Chattogram Royals and Noakhali Express. Islam stays a director pending full review.
Players' group CWAB enforced the boycott, halting cricket nationwide. With Litton Das captaining the World Cup squad, the board scrambles to avert further chaos before February's global showdown.
This saga underscores player power in Bangladesh – stability now key to salvaging the season.
