It seems that the BCB officials are targeting their own players now. As per a fresh report in Cricbuzz, the board’s finance committee chairman, M Nazmul Islam has unlocked a fresh controversy. He seems have accused former skipper Tamim Iqbal of being an Indian agent.
The remarks have come after former skipper’s interview, where he went on to say, that BCB should look to prioritise only cricket, before making a final call on T20 World Cup participation. Nazmul wrote in a Facebook post, “This time, the people of Bangladesh witnessed, with their own eyes, the emergence of yet another proven Indian agent.”
On the other hand, The Cricketers’ Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB) has swung into action. They have demanded for a public apology from Nazmul. “A comment made by BCB director M Nazmul Islam regarding former national captain Tamim Iqbal has come to the attention of the Cricketers’ Welfare Association of Bangladesh (CWAB). We are stunned, shocked, and outraged by it.
“Such a remark by a board official about the most successful opener in Bangladesh’s history, who represented the country for 16 years, is utterly condemnable. Not only because it concerns a player like Tamim, but such comments about any cricketer of the country are unacceptable and insulting to the entire cricketing community,” CWAB said in a statement.
“We strongly protest against this comment. When a responsible board director makes such remarks on a public platform, it also raises serious questions about the code of conduct of board officials,” it said.
“We have already submitted a protest letter to the BCB president, demanding a public apology from the concerned board director and that he be brought under accountability. We hope the BCB president will take appropriate action as soon as possible,” it added.
The issue did not end there. BAN players, ex and current, have jumped out in support of Tamim. “I am shocked by the statement made by BCB director M Nazmul Islam regarding former national captain Tamim Iqbal. Such choice of words by a board director about a national team cricketer is not only tasteless, but completely unacceptable and contrary to our cricketing culture,” said Taijul.
Mominul went on to say that, it was an insult to BAN’s cricketing community. “The comment made by BCB director M Nazmul Islam regarding former national captain Tamim Iqbal is completely unacceptable and insulting to the country’s cricketing community. Such behaviour towards a cricketer is in direct conflict with the board’s responsibility and ethics,” said Mominul.
“A senior cricketer was not given even the minimum respect; instead, he was deliberately humiliated in public. Such remarks show a lack of even basic decorum regarding where and how to speak while holding such a high responsibility,” he said.
Lastly, Taskin added that such scathing remarks would not help BAN cricket move forward. “Cricket is the life of Bangladesh. A recent comment surrounding a former national captain who has made a major contribution to the game has caused many to reflect. I believe that such remarks directed at a former cricketer of the country are not helpful in the interest of Bangladesh cricket. I hope the concerned authorities will consider the matter seriously and adopt a more responsible stance in the future,” he said.
