Match-Fixing Scandal Rocks Bangladesh Premier League: 10 Players, 4 Franchises Under InvestigationNational Desk: The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) has been hit by a major match-fixing scandal, with 10 players and 4 franchises now under investigation. Among the accused, six players have represented the Bangladesh national cricket team, while two uncapped domestic players and two foreign cricketers are also reportedly involved.
According to reports published by The Daily Star, the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) has launched an inquiry into the last eight matches of BPL following allegations of match-fixing.
Key Findings of the Investigation
The ACU has identified multiple suspicious activities, including:
Bowlers deliberately bowling excessive wides.
Batsmen intentionally slowing down their strike rate.
Franchise officials allegedly influencing match results.
The report suggests that some players and officials had prior knowledge of betting activities and may have been involved in manipulating match outcomes.

BPL Faces Major Crisis
This revelation has sparked outrage among fans and officials, raising serious concerns over the credibility of the BPL. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is under immense pressure to take strict action against those found guilty.

A senior BCB official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated:
“We take these allegations very seriously. If any player or team is found guilty, severe disciplinary action will be taken, including lifetime bans.”

The ACU is currently gathering evidence, and formal charges may be filed soon. If proven, this scandal could lead to major consequences for Bangladesh cricket, including stricter anti-corruption measures in future leagues.

What’s Next?
The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected in the coming days. Meanwhile, cricket analysts are calling for stronger monitoring systems and transparency to prevent future incidents.
