The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has provisionally suspended three individuals, including former board director Muhammad Mukhlesur Rahman (Shamim), over alleged breaches of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code in connection with the 12th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

The other two individuals are former BCB Security Liaison Officer Zakir Hossain and former BCB councillor of Bogura district and former member secretary of the BCB Audit Committee, Rakibul Islam Sunny.

The charges stem from an investigation conducted by the Bangladesh Cricket Board Integrity Unit (BCBIU) into alleged corrupt conduct during the BPL. The allegations include match-fixing or attempts to improperly influence matches, facilitating corrupt conduct, failing to disclose approaches related to corruption and failing to cooperate with anti-corruption investigations.

Mukhlesur Rahman faces charges under Articles 2.1.1, 2.1.4, 2.4.4 and 2.4.7 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code. Zakir Hossan has been charged under Articles 2.1.1, 2.1.4 and 2.4.6, while Rakibul Islam Sunny faces charges under Articles 2.4.4 and 2.4.6.

The three accused have been provisionally suspended and have 14 days from receiving the Notices of Charge to respond as part of the disciplinary process.
