NEW DELHI: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has launched an internal investigation into corruption allegations involving board director Mokhlesur Rahman, further deepening scrutiny around the administration of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
A BCB spokesperson confirmed that the board’s integrity unit has taken up the matter and that Rahman has relinquished his role as chairman of the audit committee pending the inquiry. Rahman, who was elected as a BCB director in October, represents Chapainawabganj as a board councillor, according to ESPNCricinfo.
The allegations stem from the current BPL season and were first brought to public attention by journalist Riasad Azim in an investigative report published on his verified Facebook page on Thursday. Although the board has not publicly detailed the nature of the claims, the report has prompted swift internal action.
