BCB polls today

All eyes will be on former Bangladesh captain Naimur Rahman in the Bangladesh Cricket Board elections today.

Save Naimur and MA Awal Chowdhury Bulu, the other candidates of the incumbent BCB president Nazmul Hassan led panel have already been elected unopposed.

A councillor from Manikganj, Naimur will battle it out against three politically heavyweight candidates -- Syed Ashfakul Islam, Shahinul Islam and Tanvir Ahmed Tito – for the two available director posts from Dhaka Division.

On the other hand, Awal will be up against Alamgir Khan for the lone director's post from Barisal Division.

The BCB general council was scheduled to elect 25 directors from three categories. But the other 23 directors, including 12 from Dhaka Metropolitan Clubs (Category-2), have already been elected unopposed, which understandably took the gloss out of an election atmosphere in the country's richest federation.

And if everything goes according to script, Hassan is all set to lead the 25-member executive committee (including two nominated directors from the NSC) and run the show for another four years.

The election for the three posts will take place from 10am till 5pm at the Sher-e-Bangla National stadium, where the primary results will be announced on the same day.
