DHAKA, Feb 1, 2025 (BSS)-The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) today stated that 
it has noted with concern recent media reports suggesting that cricketer 
Anamul Haque Bijoy, a squad member of the Durbar Rajshahi franchise in the 
ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) has been subjected to a 'restriction 
on travelling outside or leaving the country' by relevant authorities due to 
legal issues related to the Anti-Corruption Code.

"The BCB would like to categorically state that it is not aware of any such 
measures being imposed on Bijoy and confirms that it has received no 
notification regarding official restrictions placed on him at this time," the 
BCB said in a press release. 

The BCB has also come across media coverage regarding potential anti-
corruption concerns about the BPL. The Board reiterates its firm commitment 
to upholding the integrity and spirit of the game. The BCB strictly adheres 
to the ICC Anti-Corruption Code for Participants and maintains a zero-
tolerance policy towards corruption in any form, the release added. 

The BCB also informed that an independent inquiry body will be formed to 
further support the investigation of Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU).

"The BCB Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) is continuously monitoring all matters 
relating to integrity within Bangladesh cricket, addressing them with due 
confidentiality and discretion. As part of its ongoing efforts, the BCB is in 
the process of establishing an Independent Inquiry Body to further support 
the ACU in its investigations," the release said. 

"The BCB remains dedicated to ensuring a fair and transparent cricketing 
environment and will continue to take all necessary actions to safeguard the 
integrity of the sport in Bangladesh."
