BCB advisor and chairman cricket committee Mahbubul Anam revealed this yesterday.

Talking to The Daily Star Sport at a city hotel in the afternoon, Anam said that the CEO has been appointed to run and carry out the Board's day-to-day activities and functions mostly related to administration.

He will have a separate office within the BCB that would be overall supervised by the Board president.

"In fact he will be parallel to the executive committee if we draw an organisational tree. There will be a separate set-up with some managers under the CEO. We will appoint a cricket operations and a media manager very soon," Anam said.

When asked whether it was contrary to the newly amended constitution of the Board, Anam said it was not. "The constitution has given us or the executive committee the full right to appoint anyone for the functioning of the Board. And the CEO has been appointed according to that authority," he added.

Responding to another query, Anam agreed that as per the new constitution the general secretary was the head of the executive. But he informed that the responsibilities of the general secretary would be shared with the CEO when the election is being held and for that they did not need to amend the constitution.

"The CEO can very well share the responsibilities with the general secretary. It's only a professional approach," Anam said.

He added that BCB was set to follow what Sri Lanka Cricket was doing.

Zimbabwean Maqbul Hussein Dudhia joined the BCB as its first CEO on Saturday.
