The Cricketers’ Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) has strongly protested a Facebook post by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director M Nazmul Islam, who referred to former national captain Tamim Iqbal with a derogatory term. The post, made in response to a statement by Tamim, quickly went viral and drew widespread criticism from the cricket community. CWAB issued a statement expressing shock, anger, and disappointment over the remark, calling it unacceptable and insulting to the entire cricket fraternity.

In its statement, CWAB said that such comments from a responsible board official are deeply condemnable and raise questions about the code of conduct for BCB directors. The organization has already sent a formal protest letter to the BCB president, demanding that Nazmul Islam publicly apologize and be held accountable for his actions. CWAB urged the board to take appropriate measures as soon as possible.

The controversy has sparked debate within Bangladesh’s cricket circles about professionalism and accountability among board officials.
