Overview
- The Bangladesh Cricket Board confirmed its integrity unit has launched an investigation into director Mohammad Mokhleshur Rahman over allegations linked to the ongoing BPL season.
- Rahman has stepped down as chairman of the BCB audit committee to allow a full inquiry but remains a board director.
- Journalist Riasad Azim published phone recordings that reportedly feature Noakhali Express chairman Towhidul Haque Towhid directing how matches should be played.
- The probe is overseen by Alex Marshall, the former ICC anti-corruption chief, whose unit is also reviewing an independent 900-page report on prior BPL corruption claims.
- This scrutiny follows recent controversies involving other directors and coincides with the BCB’s continuing dispute with the ICC over the men’s T20 World Cup arrangements.
