BSS, Dhaka :
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday stated it has noted with concern recent media reports suggesting that cricketer Anamul Haque, a squad member of the Durbar Rajshahi franchise in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League Cricket 2024-25 season, has been subjected to a “restriction on travelling outside or leaving the country” by relevant authorities due to legal issues related to the Anti-Corruption Code.
“The BCB would like to categorically state that it is not aware of any such measures being imposed on Anamul and confirms that it has received no notification regarding official restrictions placed on him at this time,” the BCB said in a press release.
The BCB has also come across media coverage regarding potential anti-corruption concerns about the BPL. The board reiterated its firm commitment to upholding the integrity and spirit of the game.
Cricket’s governing body in the country strictly adheres to the International Cricket Council’s Anti-Corruption Code for participants and maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption in any form, the release added.
The BCB also informed that an independent inquiry body will be formed to further support the investigation of Anti-Corruption Unit.
“The BCB Anti-Corruption Unit is continuously monitoring all matters relating to integrity within Bangladesh cricket, addressing them with due confidentiality and discretion.
As part of its ongoing efforts, the BCB is in the process of establishing an independent inquiry body to further support the ACU in its investigations,” the release said.
