Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal is now interim president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), aiming to restore the country's cricket image. He sees his heart attack as a trigger for this administrative role and emphasizes prioritizing cricket over off-field issues, including a scheduled series with India.
In a statement, the BCB said the charges came after investigations carried out by the Bangladesh Cricket Board Integrity Unit (BCBIU). The probe looked into alleged corrupt conduct, betting activities, lack of cooperation in anti-corruption investigations and attempts to obstruct investigations linked to the BPL.
