A new twist has emerged in the ongoing controversy over the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) elections. Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has reportedly raised complaints to the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) through Indian stars Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir, Said Asif Mahmud.
Advisor’s Statement on Election “Fixing”
BCB sports advisor Asif Mahmud spoke to Jamuna TV, where he strongly criticized the people behind the election drama.
He said:
“নিজেদের স্বার্থে সকল পক্ষের দুয়ারে যাওয়া লোকেরাই আসল বিসিবি নির্বাচন ফিক্সার।”
Translation: “The people who go to all sides for their own interests are the real election fixers of the BCB.”

Threats to Candidates
Asif Mahmud also revealed that some candidates have received serious threats for not withdrawing their nominations.
“মনোনয়ন প্রত্যাহার না করা প্রার্থীদের ৬ মাস পর দেখে নেয়ার হুমকি দিয়েছে একটি পক্ষ। আমাদের কাছে কল রেকর্ড আছে। এমনকি ভারতীয় বোর্ডের কাছে ভিরাট কোহলি–গৌতম গম্ভীরের মাধ্যমে অভিযোগও পাঠিয়েছে তারা।”
Translation: “One group has threatened to take revenge six months later on those who did not withdraw their nominations. We have call records. They even sent a complaint to the Indian Board through Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir.”
