A wave of protest erupted among Bangladesh’s national cricketers after Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director M Nazmul Islam called former national captain Tamim Iqbal an “Indian agent” on social media. The comment came after Tamim suggested that decisions about Bangladesh’s participation in international cricket, including the T20 World Cup in India, should consider the country’s position and future in world cricket.
Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam expressed shock at the director’s words, calling them tasteless, unacceptable, and contrary to the nation’s cricket culture. He demanded a public apology and accountability for the official. Former captain Mominul Haque echoed the same demand, describing the remark as offensive and inconsistent with the board’s ethics and responsibilities. Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed also criticized the statement, saying such comments were not in the best interest of Bangladesh cricket.
The controversy has intensified calls for the BCB to take swift and firm action against the director, with players urging greater professionalism and responsibility from board officials.
