The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday, through a press release, vehemently condemned the statement of Legends of Rupganj owner Lutfur Rahman Badal terming it indecent, ill-motivated and derogatory.
Cricket’s governing body in the country said Badal was motivated by his own ill thoughts and is trying to damage the reputation of BCB president Nazmul Hasan who is leading the board with distinction. The BCB came out hard on the statements and comments against it and said it is relentlessly pursuing to develop the game in the country and has already garnered respect as a sports federation. The board said the slinging of mud from Badal’s side speaks volumes about the Rupganj owner’s lack of taste.
The BCB went on to say the comments thrown towards it’s directors are defamatory and expression of sick mentality.
Meanwhile, Premier Division Cricket Club Association president Manjur Kader through another press release urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to take necessary steps against Badal and ban his club from all sorts of cricket activities.
Meanwhile, Nazmul gave his reaction on this issue to the media upon his arrival in Dhaka yesterday.
“I heard about it today (yesterday) but I had no idea. But, I heard that he had some issues regarding umpiring and the board directors. I heard that his comment is very aggressive and everyone is very disappointed. If he is not able to prove his allegations then we will take strict against him.”
