BCB Director Nazmul Islam has been removed as Finance Committee chief after criticism over controversial remarks about cricketers with the BCB president Aminul islam assuming the role on an interim basis until further notice.
However, despite demands from players, Nazmul has not yet resigned from his post as a board director.
The decision was taken during an emergency online meeting of the BCB held on Thursday while cricketers were addressing a press conference at a local hotel.
At the meeting, the board resolved to relieve Nazmul of his responsibilities as chairman of the Finance Committee, one of the BCB’s most influential standing committees.
The development was confirmed to the media by BCB Director and Media Committee Chairman, Amzad Hossain.
Earlier in the day, the BCB issued a press release stating that Nazmul had been served with a show-cause notice for making objectionable remarks. He has been asked to submit a written explanation within 48 hours.
Nazmul’s comments sparked strong reactions across the cricketing community, leading to protests and public criticism from players.
While the board has taken disciplinary action by removing him from the finance role, calls continue for further accountability, including his resignation from the board.
