Bangladesh Cricket Board Requests Government to End Election Investigation Amid ICC Suspension Concerns

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has urged the government to dissolve a committee investigating alleged irregularities in its October 2025 elections, warning that such interference could violate International Cricket Council (ICC) rules and risk suspension. The investigation, initiated by the National Sports Council, follows allegations by former captain Tamim Iqbal of election manipulation. The BCB maintains its administration is duly elected and has engaged informally with ICC leadership, emphasizing the need to preserve its autonomy while expressing willingness for dialogue with authorities.
