Najmul Islam's 'Indian agent' comment causes cricket uproar

Najmul Islam, the director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, stirred up some drama by calling Tamim Iqbal an 'Indian agent' while discussing moving T20 World Cup 2026 matches from India to Sri Lanka. He claimed it was just his personal opinion. The Cricketers' Welfare Association was not amused, saying disrespecting a player like Tamim, who has dedicated 16 years to cricket in Bangladesh, is totally unacceptable.
