Posted By: Akram on 02-02-2026 | 16:31:05Category: Political Videos, NewsThe Bangladesh Cricket Board received the investigation report into allegations of misconduct in women's cricket raised by former national captain Jahanara Alam, a member of the five-member inquiry committee confirmed to Cricbuzz on Monday.
Jahanara had alleged being sexually assaulted by a member of the team management which forced BCB to form an investigation committee to probe into the matter.
Initially BCB announced that that the investigation committee will be chaired by Justice Tariq ul Hakim, former judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh while its other members were BCB Director Rubaba Dowla and senior Supreme Court lawyer and President of the Women's Sports Association Barrister Sarwat Siraj Shukla.
Later, BCB expanded the committee by adding two more members- Professor Dr Naima Huq, former Chair of the Department of Law at the University of Dhaka and current Member of the Law Commission, Bangladesh and Barrister Muhammed Mustafizur Rahman Khan, Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court.
When contacted, Barrister Sarwat Siraj Shukla told Cricbuzz on Monday that they have submitted the report to the board. The BCB has extended the deadline for this incident several times despite forming an investigation committee.
Deciding to extend the time for the first time on December 2, BCB said that Jahanara had asked the committee for some time to submit a written complaint and had been given another 15 days to submit the report. Then on December 21, the BCB again said that the independent investigation committee would submit the investigation report by January 31.
The announcement came hours after High Court issued rule over BCB's silent role in probe into cricketer Jahanara's allegations. On February 2, the High Court issued a rule asking why the silent role of the BCB should not be declared illegal in the probe based on the allegations of misconduct in women's cricket raised by former national captain Jahanara Alam.
The HC bench of Justice Ahmed Sohel and Justice Fatema Anwar delivered the order on Monday (2 February) following a writ petition. Senior lawyer of Bangladesh Supreme Court Barrister Nasir Uddin Ahmed Asim, along with some other lawyers, took part in the hearing for writ petition in the court.
