However, the board has decided not to make the findings public and will instead take necessary actions in line with legal procedures.
The preliminary report was first submitted to the BCB in August by the investigation committee, formed after the last BPL season.
Recently, the BCB confirmed through a press release that it had officially received the final 900-page report from the independent investigation committee.
The report has now been handed over to the BCB Integrity Unit (BCBIU) chief, Alex Marshall, who will review the findings and determine appropriate actions, including possible sanctions for those found guilty. The BCB aims to finalize punishments before the upcoming player draft.
BCB Vice President Shakawath Hossain told the media, “We’ve submitted the 900-page report to Alex Marshall. He will review it, frame charges based on the offenses, and give us his recommendations. The players charged will not be allowed to play. We hope to get this done before the draft, there’s a clear timeline.”
According to several media reports, names of multiple cricketers have surfaced in the investigation. Many of them also participated in the recent NCL T20 competition, raising uncertainty about their eligibility for the next BPL season.
Confirming the BCB’s stance, Shakawath added, “If we receive the names before the draft, those players will not be included. And it’s not just players—journalists and management members are also involved.”
