Bangladesh cricketer Anamul Haque Bijoy has served a legal notice to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), the BPL Governing Council and the Ministry of Youth and Sports after his name was left out of the players’ auction list for the upcoming BPL 2026 season.
The notice, sent by Supreme Court lawyer Jobayer Mohammad Aourangzeb on Anamul’s behalf, argues that the decision to exclude him is arbitrary, professionally damaging and taken without any explanation or prior communication.
It states that Anamul has not been accused of misconduct or any breach of cricketing integrity, yet was removed without being informed of any reason.
In the notice, Anamul describes himself as a long-serving national cricketer with consistent performances across domestic and international cricket.
He claims the omission has caused him reputational harm as well as emotional and financial loss, particularly because the BPL is considered a major platform ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup.
The notice demands that BCB immediately reinstates his name in the auction list, allows him to participate freely, and issues a public clarification.
It gives the board three days to respond, warning that failure to do so will lead to further legal action, including possible claims for damages.
