A cricket board just axed its finance chief to calm a player revolt. The Bangladesh Cricket Board removed Najmul Islam from his chairman role following a boycott threat from professional cricketers. Players found his recent remarks insulting and refused to report for domestic matches. BCB's president will temporarily oversee the finance committee directly.
The board stated this decision served the organization's best interest for smooth functioning. Officials reiterated that player interests remain their highest priority, committing to uphold athlete dignity. They urged cricketers to maintain professionalism and continue participating in the Premier League amid ongoing tensions. This move aims to restore confidence and ensure the tournament proceeds without further disruption.
