The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially relieved director M Nazmul Islam of his duties. In a formal statement issued on January 15, 2026, the board said the decision was made in the interest of the organization following recent events. The BCB clarified that the move did not violate any clause of its constitution, citing Article 31 as the basis for the removal. BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul will temporarily take charge of the board’s finance committee.

The statement emphasized that the board remains committed to upholding the dignity and respect of its players. It also expressed hope that, following this decision, cricketers would soon return to the field to participate in Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) matches.

The announcement comes amid reports of player boycotts that led to delays in scheduled matches, though the BCB did not directly link the removal to those incidents.
