BCB Integrity Unit reiterates Zero-Tolerance Policy for BPL-12

DHAKA, Jan 11, 2026 (BSS) — The Bangladesh Cricket Board Integrity Unit (BCB IU) headed by its Independent Chair Alex Marshall CBE, QPM, has reaffirmed that routine integrity operations in response to credible suspicion are being conducted for BPL-12 under ICC’s global integrity framework.

“Such measures by BCB IU are part of BCB’s zero-tolerance policy and drive against corrupt cricketing activities,” the BCB said in a statement today.

“BCB IU operates in accordance with the general processes under prevailing anti-corruption code of ICC. Therefore, there has been no violation of the rights of any player or Franchisee Personnel by BCB IU team in any way,” he said.

These preventive measures by BCB IU have resulted in an approximately 80 percent reduction in alerts relating to suspicious activities, the statement claimed. 

“As part of standard integrity procedures, several foreign players have been spoken to privately as witnesses in order to verify recruitment processes, contractual arrangements and payment structures. Such meetings are confidential and preventive in nature and do not imply that any player is under investigation or has already been found guilty,” it added. 

“BCB reiterates its zero-tolerance policy towards corruption and remains firmly committed to protecting the credibility, transparency and reputation of the Bangladesh Premier League,” the statement concluded.
