Bangladesh Cricketers End BPL Boycott After BCB Removes Director from Finance Role

Senior Bangladesh cricketers boycotted the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) following disparaging remarks by BCB director M. Nazmul Islam, including labeling former captain Tamim Iqbal an 'Indian agent' and questioning players' financial worth amid the T20 World Cup India travel dispute. The BCB removed Nazmul from his finance committee role but he remains a board director. After negotiations between the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the Cricketers' Welfare Association, players ended the boycott and BPL matches resumed, though demands for a public apology continue amid reports of threats against protesting players.
