New Delhi: Recently ousted as the chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), Aminul Islam Bulbul has denied the corruption allegations saying that he hasn’t done anything wrong. Islam, who was removed from the post of the BCB chief, has accused Bangladesh’s National Sports Council (NSC) of fabricating a malicious plot to remove him from his post.
The NSC, on Tuesday, dissolved the Aminul-led BCB forming an ad-hoc committee to run the affairs of Bangladesh cricket until fresh elections are held. Former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal was chosen as the head of the 11-member ad hoc committee. Animul was relieved of his duties after a probe found him guilty of corruption during the last elections held in October 2025. In that election, he was appointed as the head of the BCB.
Aminul rejects his removal
However, Aminul has rejected his removal and labelled the NSC probe a ‘whimsical and legally untenable’ document.
‘I unequivocally state that the report submitted on April 5, 2026, is a defective, whimsical, and legally untenable document that holds no standing in the eyes of the law or the constitution of the BCB,’ Aminul said in an official statement, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
He also denied the corruption allegations levelled against him, maintaining that he remains the sole lawful president following his election in October 2025.
‘I categorically deny any and all allegations of corruption, manipulation, or abuse of power regarding the BCB elections held on October 6, 2025. Those elections were conducted transparently by a fully legitimate, three-member Election Commission formed by the BCB on September 6, 2025,’ the statement added.
In addition, Aminul has also confirmed that he has lodged a complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC), claiming the ad-hoc committee is illegal and the investigation report is flawed. As per multiple reports, he was mainly removed due to the row involving the ouster of Bangladesh from T20 World Cup 2026.
