BCB Bans Women’s Selector Monjurul Islam Over Sexual Harassment Allegations By Jahanara Alam

By IANS News February 22, 2026 • 21:46 PM View: 151

National Team Captain Jahanara Alam: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has barred former international cricketer Monjurul Islam from any direct or indirect involvement in cricket activities under its authority following an inquiry into allegations of misconduct.

The decision, announced after a board meeting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Sunday, was based on the findings of an Independent Inquiry Committee formed to investigate a complaint filed by former Bangladesh women’s captain Jahanara Alam. She had accused Monjurul of sexual assault during the 2022 World Cup.

According to the board, the inquiry reviewed four allegations made by Alam. While two claims could not be substantiated due to insufficient evidence, the committee found prima facie proof of inappropriate conduct in the remaining two.
