The crisis-ridden Bangladesh Cricket Board stared at the prospect of the Bangladesh Premier League coming to a halt after senior national players revolted against it for not sacking director Najmul Islam for his disparaging comments against them even though the BCB removed him as head of its finance committee.

Najmul remains a Board director, a position that can be taken from him on disciplinary grounds.


The furore started after Najmul, while reiterating Bangladesh’s refusal to travel to India for next month’s T20 World Cup on account of “security worries”, rejected concerns surrounding players’ remuneration should the country withdraw.
