The BCB Finance Committee Chairman made strong and insulting statements against Bangladesh players, triggering widespread anger.
Nazmul said the board would not suffer financially if Bangladesh skipped the T20 World Cup, but players would lose match fees, which upset the cricketers.
He openly questioned why players should be compensated and suggested recovering money spent on them, escalating tensions further.
Nazmul earlier labelled former captain Tamim Iqbal an “Indian agent”, angering players and deepening divisions within Bangladesh cricket.
The Cricketers Welfare Association of Bangladesh announced players will not play matches unless Nazmul Hasan resigns from his post.
Players have demanded his immediate removal before the next BPL match, warning of a complete boycott if their demand is not met.
