Vijaya is fuming with anger over being sentenced before guilt is proven

Sports Desk
The BCB has not yet found any evidence against Enamul Haque Bijoy for match-fixing or spot-fixing. However, they have excluded 7 cricketers from the BPL auction draft, considering the activities suspicious. Bijoy has reacted angrily after this decision and threatened legal action.

ICC policy states that no one is named in an allegation of corruption before there is clear evidence. The highest governing body does not want to risk damaging the reputation of someone if they are not proven guilty. But the BCB did not follow this procedure.

Batter Enamul Haque Bijoy and all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, all-rounder Alauddin Babu. Spinner Nihaduzzaman, bowling all-rounder Sanjamul Islam, pacer Shafiul Islam Sohan and batter Mizanur Rahman were left out of the final auction list. All of them were in the initial published list.

BCB Director Iftekhar Rahman Mithu cited the advice of Alex Marshall, an anti-corruption officer working at the ICC, as the reason for the exclusion.

However, Vijay strongly challenged this decision and wanted to know, ‘What is the evidence against us? Let them show me with whom I have done anything illegal. I challenged them. Let them show me whether I have taken money from anyone. If they cannot show it, then the honour that has been lost to me should be restored.’

Vijay and the other cricketers may also go into legal battle. Vijay said, ‘I have spoken to my lawyer. I will wait for BCB first. I will take legal action later.’

Bijoy also expressed his anger on Facebook Live last night. He also complained that the BCB is not paying him the 3 million taka due.
