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).

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.

For over two decades, Shakib Khan has been a leading figure in the Dhallywood film industry. Recently, he has ventured into the world of cricket through his business enterprise, Remark-Herlan, which has acquired a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise named Dhaka Capitals. 

While talking about Bangladesh cricket, many often lament that despite being a Test nation for around two-and-a-half decades, the country has failed to cultivate a domestic cricket culture. This assertion, however, is not quite true.

Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed admitted that the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the country’s premier franchise T20 tournament, is yet to find solid ground after 10 seasons.

Bangladesh’s newly appointed senior assistant coach Mohammad Salahuddin urged the media to give new players time before making the final judgement about their abilities.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed on Thursday said ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is set to miss the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, starting on November 6, in the UAE owing to a lack of practice.

Faruque Ahmed was officially announced as the president of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on 21 August. Yet, just two months in, governance issues are already surfacing within the board. While former president Nazmul Hassan Papon ran operations like a one-man show, Faruque appears to be centralising operations similarly, as seen in skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto’s captaincy situation.

Shakib’s 17-year cricket career was marked by numerous controversies, and his farewell is no different.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced a 15-member squad for the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup, starting on October 18 in Oman.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his inclusion, the 38-year-old was named in the 15-member squad announced for the upcoming three-match T20I series against India, starting in Gwalior on October 6.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said he has received assurance regarding the security of the Bangladesh team for the upcoming India tour from BCCI secretary Jay Shah.

Bangladesh cricketer Shakib Al Hasan is the leading all-rounder of his era, whose laundry list of achievements is rivalled only by his disciplinary infractions and his brief political career under his country's loathed ex-leader.

Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said that star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan can continue to represent the country as long as he is not legally proven guilty of any misdeeds.

Women’s wing head of Bangladesh Cricket Board Habibul Bashar insisted that even though the girls are upset about missing out on playing the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on home soil, it won’t hamper their preparation for the global tournament.

Faruque Ahmed, the newly-appointed president of Bangladesh Cricket Board, has said that his ‘first and foremost responsibility is to take cricket forward’.

Former national team captain Faruque Ahmed has been made president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

Word around the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is that Nazmul Hassan Papon has informed one of the directors that he is in favour of resigning as board president. Many other directors, however, claimed to have no knowledge of the president's wish.
