DHAKA, July 13, 2026 (BSS) -The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has pledged to 
stand by people affected by the ongoing floods that have inundated several 
districts, including Chattogram, Cox's Bazar and Bandarban, following days of 
heavy rainfall.

Continuous downpours have submerged many roads in Chattogram, disrupting 
daily life and causing widespread public suffering. Several educational 
institutions have suspended classes and examinations due to severe 
waterlogging, while floodwaters have left millions of people stranded across 
the affected regions.

BCB President Tamim Iqbal, who is currently in Edinburgh, announced the 
board's commitment to supporting flood victims through a Facebook post today.

"Many areas of the country, including Chattogram, Cox's Bazar and Bandarban, 
are now flooded. Millions of people are trapped by floodwaters. Countless 
people are spending their days in uncertainty and fear. We express our 
solidarity with everyone affected by this disaster," Tamim wrote.

He added that the BCB would extend all possible assistance to those affected.

"We will certainly do whatever we can from the BCB to help the flood victims. 
I hope this disaster passes quickly. Until then, I urge people from all walks 
of life to unite and stand by those in need, contributing whatever they can 
within their means," he said.
