Since learning of the incident, the BCB has remained in close contact with Nayeem Hasan and his family to ensure their well-being and provide all necessary support. The Board has also been actively engaging with the concerned authorities and administration in Chattogram to facilitate a proper resolution of this serious issue.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board reiterated its committment to safeguarding the welfare, dignity and rights of all its players and will continue to monitor developments closely.
A few days back, former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal was elected as the president of the BCB, cementing his position at the helm of the country's governing body after previously serving as head of its ad-hoc committee.
The newly-formed board also elected Fahim Sinha as vice-president. Although two vice-presidents are expected to be appointed, the Election Commission has so far announced only one name.
