BCB Appoints Consultant to Combat Corruption in Bangladesh Premier League

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Alex Marshall, a renowned anti-corruption expert, to help combat corruption in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Marshall's primary objective is to ensure that the BPL does not appear vulnerable to corruption.

Corruption Concerns in BPL

The BPL has faced several corruption-related issues in the past, including the postponement of a season due to a corruption-related case involving Mohammad Ashraful. Recent reports suggest that several cricketers are suspected of being involved in wrongdoings in the previous edition of the tournament.

Marshall's Action Plan

Marshall plans to design an integrity unit to protect the sport from various threats. He aims to educate players, team officials, and fans about the importance of integrity and the consequences of corruption. The unit will also provide security and protection to teams and ensure that corruptors are chased away.

BCB's Commitment to Integrity

BCB president Aminul Islam has expressed his commitment to implementing Marshall's roadmap to protect the integrity of the game. He emphasized that the BCB takes the issue of corruption seriously and is working to ensure that the game is protected.

Next Steps

Marshall will complete the design of the integrity unit over the next three to four weeks and present it to the BCB for sign-off. Once implemented, the unit will work to educate players, officials, and fans about the importance of integrity and will investigate and prosecute any breaches of the rules.
