Former Bangladesh Captain Tamim Becomes Youngest Bcb Chief
The interim panel must hold new elections within 90 days after officials found gross irregularities in last year’s board vote.
- On Tuesday, the National Sports Council dissolved the Bangladesh Cricket Board board of directors following an investigation into October's elections, appointing former captain Tamim Iqbal as interim head of an 11-member ad-hoc committee.
- The NSC cited "gross irregularities" in the October election won by former national captain Aminul Islam Bulbul, under whose leadership the board refused to visit India for the T20 World Cup citing safety concerns.
- Tamim, who played 391 matches for Bangladesh across all formats, will lead the ad-hoc committee tasked with managing daily operations until fresh elections are held within 90 days.
- The decision precedes a "goodwill visit" to India by Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman to rebuild frosty relations, while Bangladesh will host New Zealand for a tour starting April 17.
- Sports director Aminul Ehsan confirmed the government notified the International Cricket Council of the dissolution, stating the previous board was not formed properly and could not complete its work effectively.
