Bangladesh board to probe allegations of fixing in BPL

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has launched a probe into allegations by a player that he was asked to fix matches during the latest Bangladesh Premier League Twenty20 tournament.
Rangpur Riders’ Jupiter Ghosh had alleged on Monday (November 28) that Sanuar Hossain, the team manager, had told him to fix match results just before the start of the tournament earlier this month. He claimed he was dropped from the team when he refused to comply.
“The BCB is investigating complaints lodged by a cricketer of BPL 2016 franchise Rangpur Riders against an official of the same team,” the board said. “The BCB recognises that the allegations and counter allegations brought forward by the player and the official concerned, which includes breach of discipline and corrupt practice, are of serious nature.”
