Bangladesh Cricket Board sets up independent harassment panel

The Bangladesh Cricket Board formed a five-member independent committee to handle sexual-harassment complaints from women cricketers. Barrister Rashna Imam will chair the committee and Chandra Banerjee will serve as secretary. The panel was established after recommendations from an earlier inquiry led by Rubaba Dowla and follows a 2009 High Court directive and the board's own safeguarding policy. No current BCB staff were included on the committee to avoid internal influence.
