Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hasan Papon said anyone who thought his claims about Taskin Ahmed (that the bowler was banned illegally) were incorrect should come forward and challenge him.

"If anyone thinks that I am wrong, they should come and prove me wrong. The ICC still has the opportunity to prove me wrong. The World Cup is still ongoing, let's see if they can suspect two bowlers of any team and suspend them. Let them set an example, then I will have nothing to say on Taskin issue. I cannot accept a suspension that has come for no reason and against a key bowler of a team," he said.

He said Taskin not bowling an illegal delivery during a match and still getting suspended is something that has happened first time history. "All my life I knew that a bowler gets suspended if he bowls an illegal delivery in a particular game. But Taskin got suspended despite not having bowled any illegal delivery in that game (against the Netherlands). This has happened for the first time in history.
"The match referee (Andy Pycroft) had said all of his deliveries in that game were suspicious but during the test, none of the deliveries were found illegal. So, this is a new learning curve for us in that a bowler can get suspended in this way. This is something new to us," he said.
