"The Bangladesh Cricket Board, meanwhile, has pledged support to Pakistan while India officials say the ball-tampering issue "cannot be ignored". Indian board secretary Niranjan Shah told the BBC: "We will hold a meeting on it once we get adequate details from the International Cricket Council."
There is NOTHING except few words on BCB in that news, no mention 'who', 'when' even 'what' exactly was the 'statement', all he/she tried to state on BCCI. Neither I see any news on this matter on BD news paper. So I doubt a lot this BBC report on BCB.

But I don't like if they ( BCB ) made any 'statement' on this issue, even if they had to then they should have made it very specific, on which part they support Pakistan and which part they don't. In my opinion, 'ball tempering' and 'refusing to play' is out of question, but 'match officials' should have handled the situation better for 'greatest interest of cricket' and 'audience'. ( something like that )
