BPL 2025 under match fixing shadow

Huge blow to the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025, after allegations of match fixing surfaced on Friday.

At least eight matches in Bangladesh’s premier T20 competition are being investigation for alleged fixing, local media reported.

Local media has seen documents indicating that the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) is closely monitoring 10 players and four franchises.

Among the 10 suspected players, six have previously represented Bangladesh National team, while two are new players and two are foreign players.

The media has also published a list of the suspicious matches.

Some of these matches saw bowlers delivering three consecutive wides and large no-balls. Additionally, the suspected playing elevens displayed slow batting during the middle overs, which was also noted by authorities.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has pledged strict action against any cricketer found guilty of misconduct in the tournament.
