master of both stage and screen, Zaker’s versatility as an actor left a lasting mark on the nation’s entertainment industry. As we reflect on his contributions, especially on his fourth death anniversary, it’s not just his powerful performances that are remembered, but also the playful camaraderie, witful screen presence and gentle spirit he brought to every set.

Yesterday, the most important figure in the country’s sports administration at the moment, youth and sports Adviser Asif Mahmud, openly spoke about the ‘haphazard’ manner in which the top brass of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), headed by president Faruque Ahmed, is running its operation -- a scenario that was technically impossible even a few months back.

Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed admitted that the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the country’s premier franchise T20 tournament, is yet to find solid ground after 10 seasons.

Faruque Ahmed was officially announced as the president of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on 21 August. Yet, just two months in, governance issues are already surfacing within the board. While former president Nazmul Hassan Papon ran operations like a one-man show, Faruque appears to be centralising operations similarly, as seen in skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto’s captaincy situation.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) are yet to ascertain whether all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will feature in Bangladesh’s three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, starting on November 6, in the UAE.  

Although none of the allegations against Hathurusingha are neither based on recent incident and nor directly linked to the Tigers’ on-field performance, Faruque claimed that their stern decision was based on re-assessing the reports given by a three-member special committee -- formed on November 29 last year -- tasked with scrutinising the underperformance of the Tigers in the mega event held in India.

Hathurusingha was suspended due to two factors: misconduct against a player during last year’s ODI World Cup in India and an extended period of leave.

Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed expressed his hope that Shakib Al Hasan will be able to retire from Test cricket during the two-match Test series against South Africa at home later this month.
