Watch: Bangladesh fans lose cool outside stadium after BPL 2026 matches postponed

The Bangladeshfans lose their cool outside the stadium during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2026 game as the cricketers continue to insist that they will end their playing boycott if the BCB director, Nazmul Islam, makes a public apology for the disparaging remarks he made against their players this week.  

The cricketers issued a statement on Thursday evening as the drama continues with the Dhaka Cricket League games being called off because of the boycott, along with the Bangladesh Premier League games. The BCV has already removed Islam as the chairman of the board's Finance Committee, with the players still wanting him to be removed as the board director.

“We welcome the decision to remove BCB director M Nazmul Islam from the board's finance committee. Since he has been given a showcase notice and since the BCB has asked for time due to procedural reasons regarding his directorship, we want to give him that time. However, we hope that the process will continue.” The CWAB expressed in a statement.

Bangladesh players lose cool after BPL 2026 matches got boycotted 

Things are not smooth in Bangladesh, with them writing two letters to the International Cricket Council on the request of relocating their venues for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka. They want their games to be moved out of India after the BCCI banned their left-arm pacer, Mustafizur Rahman, from the next season’s Indian Premier League (IPL).

On January 15, after the first BPL game had been boycotted and before the BCB moved Islam as chairman of the Finance Committee, Mithun had held a press conference in Dhaka where he outlined the players’ stance. There is no guarantee of the next games taking place in the rest of the event.

“The discussion among the players has been that since last night, we have been told 'procedure, procedure, procedure' at every step. They [BCB] had come with a solution, but we didn't agree. After that, they wanted 48 hours for their procedure, so I spoke to the players, and after discussion, our question is 'after 48 hours taken, if he doesn't resign, then too we will stop playing.” Mithun claimed.
