The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has pledged to stand by people affected by the ongoing floods that have inundated several districts, including Chattogram, Cox's Bazar and Bandarban, following days of heavy rainfall.
Continuous downpours have submerged many roads in Chattogram, disrupting daily life and causing widespread public suffering. Several educational institutions have suspended classes and examinations due to severe waterlogging, while floodwaters have left millions of people stranded across the affected regions.
BCB President Tamim Iqbal, who is currently in Edinburgh, announced the board's commitment to supporting flood victims through a Facebook post.
"Many areas of the country, including Chattogram, Cox's Bazar and Bandarban, are now flooded. Millions of people are trapped by floodwaters. Countless people are spending their days in uncertainty and fear. We express our solidarity with everyone affected by this disaster," Tamim wrote.
He added that the BCB would extend all possible assistance to those affected.
"We will certainly do whatever we can from the BCB to help the flood victims. I hope this disaster passes quickly. Until then, I urge people from all walks of life to unite and stand by those in need, contributing whatever they can within their means," he said.
