New Delhi: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has taken strong action against former women’s team selector Monjurul Islam following allegations of serious misconduct by the former women’s team captain Jahanara Alam. Following an investigation, the board has banned Monjurul, directly or indirectly, from holding any cricket-related position under the BCB. The Investigative Committee investigated four allegations relating to incidents that occurred during the 2022 Women’s World Cup.
While two allegations could not be proven due to a lack of evidence, the panel found prima facie evidence of misconduct in two other cases and said his conduct fell within harassment and misconduct rules.The BCB confirmed the decision in a statement and said: “Based on the findings of the independent inquiry committee constituted by the BCB to examine the complaint lodged by former Bangladesh women’s national team captain Jahanara Alam, the committee has decided to ban former national cricketer Monjurul Islam from all forms of direct or indirect employment and/or cricket-related activities within the jurisdiction of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.” The board added that it was still reviewing the committee’s recommendations and may take further steps, saying: “BCB is reviewing the committee’s recommendations and will take any additional steps deemed necessary based on the report.”Monjurul completed his contract with BCB in June 2025, but the board said his behavior did not meet professional standards.At the same meeting, BCB announced the schedule of the inaugural Bangladesh Women’s Super League, which will be held in Dhaka and Chittagong from April 4 to 14, 2026. The board also extended the term of Chief Electoral Officer Gazi Ashraf Hossain by one month while it searches for his successor. Explaining this, the BCB said, “Given his intention to resign at the end of his term as chairman of the national selection panel, the board has decided to provide a one-month extension to Ghazi Ashraf Hussain. During this period, the board will work to find his successor and reorganize the panel.”
