BCB Integrity Chief Alex Marshall: The death of a key figure in last year's political uprising and cancellation of the opening ceremony in Dhaka over political unrest have raised doubts over the next season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). As franchises ramp up preparations, questions continue to swirl around the tournament’s ability to start on schedule amid political unrest and security concerns across Bangladesh, a news report said on Monday.

Though the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) remains firm in its assertion that the BPL T20 will begin on December 26 in Sylhet, doubts have risen over the event because of the volatile law-and-order situation following the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, a key activist linked to last year’s political uprising, Telecom Asia Sport said in its report.

The incident reignited fears that large-scale sporting events could face disruption.
