BCB’s Anti-Corruption Unit has been working to keep the country’s cricket free from corruption. However, fixing and unethical activities are often seen. To stop these, BCB has newly appointed Alex Marshall, former manager of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit, to its Anti-Corruption Unit.
This was confirmed by Iftekhar Rahman Mithu, chairman of the media committee, after the BCB board meeting on Saturday. The BCB wants to use the experience of this former ICC official. It becomes difficult for the BCB to prevent corruption, especially in domestic tournaments. That is why the BCB has appointed him.
Mithu said in this regard, ‘We are appointing Alex Marshall, former general manager of the ICC Integrity Unit, to make our Anti-Corruption Unit better. We think we should make our Aksur unit better. Everyone we faced in the local tournaments wanted to develop this department well. That is why we are appointing him as a consultant.’
Marshall, who has a long history with the UK police force, joined the ICC as General Manager of the Anti-Corruption Unit in 2017. His experience in law enforcement and crime prevention will add a new dimension to cricket administration.
