BCB launches probe following Jahanara Alam's allegations
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced the formation of a committee to investigate the allegations made by former women's cricketer Jahanara Alam. In her claims, Alam alleged that during the 2022 ODI World Cup, a former women's team selector approached her inappropriately. She reportedly accused the then-selector Manjurul Islam of repeatedly making inappropriate overtures. Meanwhile, the BCB has directed the committee to submit its findings within 15 working days.
"The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has noted with concern the allegations reported in the media made by a former member of the Bangladesh national women's cricket team regarding alleged misconduct by certain individuals associated with the team," the BCB statement read.
"As the matter is of a sensitive nature, the BCB has decided to form a committee to investigate the allegations thoroughly. The committee will submit its findings and recommendations within 15 working days. The BCB is committed to ensuring a safe, respectful, and professional environment for all its players and personnel. The Board takes such matters with utmost seriousness and will take appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation,” the statement added.
Alam represented Bangladesh in 52 WODIs, taking 48 wickets and scoring 185 runs.
