The BCB said that the incident has been reported to the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Bangladesh cricket chiefs said on Wednesday that one of their players is taking part in the Women’s Twenty20. World The cup was approached in a case of spot-fixing.
Bangladesh president Shafiul Alam Nadel said, “The team management in South Africa informed us that a player had been contacted.” Cricket The Board’s (BCB) women’s wing told AFP.
Media reports claimed that an audio recording of a conversation existed in which the details of the spot-fixing allegation were outlined.

The BCB said that the incident has been reported to the International Cricket Council (ICC).
“We informed the matter to the ICC. Now they will take necessary action. We will extend our highest cooperation,” Alam Nadel said.
Spot-fixing involves betting on specific aspects of a cricket match without betting on the result.
The matter has been reported to the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit. They will see whether the allegation has merit or not. BCB has little to do here,” said BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury.
Bangladesh have lost both their matches against Sri Lanka and defending champions Australia in the ongoing World Cup in South Africa.
They will play their next match against New Zealand in Cape Town on Friday.
