The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh government has ordered the suspension of the broadcast of all matches of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season amid the controversy surrounding Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman.
The decision comes after Rahman was released from the IPL following instructions issued by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), triggering widespread debate and criticism in Bangladesh.
Reacting to the development, a former BCCI official said the move by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was a natural response. “For every action, there is a reaction. The Bangladesh Cricket Board is merely doing what it believes is within its authority. "Takleef hui hai, so obviously there will be a reaction," the official said. However, he added that India or the IPL is unlikely to be affected by the decision.
