Bangladesh Cricket Board Faces Court Scrutiny Over Player Safety

The Bangladesh High Court has initiated a review into the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB) measures for ensuring the safety of its women cricketers, particularly concerning allegations of sexual harassment. A rule was issued by the court asking why the board's alleged failure to create a secure and gender-sensitive environment for its female athletes should not be considered unlawful and against public interest.

The court has mandated that the BCB must promptly adhere to its existing anti-sexual harassment policy, following previous judicial guidelines. Furthermore, the board is required to submit a report detailing the steps taken to implement these safety measures while the case is under judicial consideration.
