BCB Bans Monjurul Islam After Inquiry Finds Prima Facie Misconduct

The move follows a probe into Jahanara Alam’s complaint that identified prima facie evidence of harassment under governing guidelines.

Overview

  • Former women’s captain Jahanara Alam lodged the complaint, citing incidents that included the 2022 Women’s World Cup.
  • An independent committee led by Justice Tariq Ul Hakim examined four allegations, finding prima facie evidence in two and insufficient evidence in two.
  • The inquiry concluded Monjurul Islam’s conduct fell below professional standards and met definitions of misconduct and harassment under Supreme Court‑referenced rules.
  • The BCB says it is reviewing the committee’s recommendations for possible further action, noting Monjurul’s board contract had already ended on June 30, 2025.
  • In separate decisions, the board scheduled the inaugural Women’s BPL for April 4–14 in Dhaka and Chattogram and granted a one‑month extension to selection chief Gazi Ashraf Hossain.
