Bangladesh’s cricket community erupted after Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director and finance committee chairman M Nazmul Islam called former captain Tamim Iqbal a “tested Indian agent” in a Facebook post. The comment followed Tamim’s call for decisions on playing the World Cup in India to be made in the country’s best interest. The post triggered widespread criticism, prompting the Cricketers’ Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) to issue a formal protest to the BCB and demand a public apology from Nazmul. Although he later edited the post to replace the word “agent” for “dalal,” the original version had already gone viral.
CWAB president Mohammad Mithun condemned the remark, calling it unacceptable and urging that BCB directors be brought under a code of conduct. He said the association had sent a protest letter to the BCB president and demanded accountability. Mithun also expressed disappointment that such comments came from a board led by former captains. Nazmul, however, told the media he would not apologize, and the BCB has not commented on the issue.
Mithun warned that CWAB might take further steps if no apology or official response comes from the board. He also urged that politics be kept separate from cricket and emphasized ensuring player safety for the upcoming World Cup in India.
