An election commissioner of the upcoming Board of Directors' election of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said on Wednesday that the Election Commission (EC) had received 30 objections to the draft voters' list and would hold hearings on those complaints on Thursday.

The much-anticipated draft voters’ list of the upcoming board of directors’ election of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was revealed on Tuesday after a day’s delay, without some of the top and incumbent directors’ names.

From claiming he was here to play a “T20 innings” as Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president to announcing his intent to contest in the upcoming board elections yesterday, Aminul Islam Bulbul has remained consistent in one regard -- the ambiguity that often characterises the leadership positions in any line of work in the country.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Aminul Islam Bulbul’s three-member Advisory Committee has attracted a lot of criticism as the nomination of its members has not been in line with the board’s constitution.

The independent inquiry committee, set up by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in February to assist its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) in investigating suspicious activities during the last Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20, will need another one-and-a-half to two months to finalise its report.

When Aminul Islam Bulbul joined the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) under unprecedented circumstances, replacing Faruque Ahmed as the president, it was expected that his major task would be reforms in the BCB constitution and bringing about elections in October.

The petition also challenged the legality of NSC's decision to appoint former national captain Aminul Islam Bulbul as the new BCB president, Faruque's counsel Barrister Md Ruhul Quddus Kazal told The Daily Star.

Youth and Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud has clarified that the removal of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed was driven by performance issues, not allegations of corruption.

Faruque Ahmed ascended to the presidency of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) after the July uprising, with the onus of reforming the board from the inside. But his tenure ended in a little over nine months before the reform initiative could even begin.

The newly elected Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president, Aminul Islam Bulbul, urged everyone to work together to take the country’s cricket to a new height.

The procedure is understood to be a formality, with sources saying that the directors are in agreement

Eight board directors of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have jointly sent a letter of no confidence against current BCB president Faruque Ahmed to the Ministry of Youth and Sports today and asked the ministry to revoke Faruque’s membership in the board.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Faruque Ahmed has stated that he has no intention of stepping down from his role, despite growing criticism and internal pressure.

“I welcome constructive criticism and I’ve admitted my mistakes. But sometimes it goes overboard and becomes unnecessary. That distracts from our main goals,” Faruque told reporters on Saturday following the prize distribution ceremony of the Third Division Qualifying League in Mirpur.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Saturday issued a clarification on some financial transactions done since the change in leadership, claiming these transactions were done to ‘strengthen’ the safety of BCB’s funds to safeguard the organisation from ‘vested quarters’.

Exasperated sighs, brooding stares, and hands on hips were perhaps the common responses as people tuned into the state-run BTV channel late afternoon on Sunday.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said they are going through a ‘tough time’ after failing to sell media rights for the Bangladesh-Zimbabwe Test series and thanked the BTV for stepping in to telecast the first Test in Sylhet starting tomorrow.
