The Bangladesh Cricket Board: Bangladesh Cricket Board has stated that it ‘categorically and strongly’ denies the claims made by women’s team pacer Jahanara Alam in a recent interview, which alleged captain Nigar Sultana Joty of misconduct, including physical assault of other players.
Speaking to the Bangladesh-based newspaper, the out-of-favour pacer Alam, who last played for Bangladesh against Ireland in December 2024 before being subsequently dropped from the team, made a shocking revelation that captain Sultana “beats up junior cricketers in the team a lot.”
“This is nothing new. Joty beats up the juniors a lot. Even during this World Cup, the juniors told me, ‘No, I won’t do this again. Then I’ll have to get slapped again.’ I heard from some people, ‘I got beaten up yesterday.’ Even during the Dubai tour, she called a junior into the room and slapped her," Alam told the Kaler Kantho, while also claiming the politics in the system has affected players in the team.
