BCB served writ petition
A Dhaka Third Division Cricket League club, Sabuj Bangla Krira Chakra, yesterday served a writ petition to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and ten other individuals, including the BCB president, CEO and Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis chairman.
In the petition, the club asked those concerned to declare the official tournament standings of the 2019-20 season and also to clarify the issue over the ‘violation of tournament by-laws’.
Sabuj Bangla cricket committee secretary Riaz Ahmed Babu informed that those concerned are yet to declare the official standings and claimed this is due to a disorder created by the tournament committee.
The league, where 20 clubs took part, ended with Jatrabari Krira Chakra becoming champions and Gulshan Cricket Club finishing as runners-up. According to the by-laws though, Dhaka Cricketers, instead of the Narayanganj Cricket Academy, would have played the eight-team Super League phase of the tournament.
“We have a very simple query, how come two rules are being followed to break a tie in points between two teams? If tournament by-laws are to be followed, then Narayanganj Cricket Academy would not have qualified for the Super League. How come they are following two rules to solve one similar incident?” Reaz told the media yesterday.
According to Reaz, the recipients of the legal notice have seven working days to respond. In case of a no-reply from the tournament authorities, the issue will automatically go to the court.
Meanwhile, CCDM coordinator Amin Khan informed that the organisation are yet to receive any letter regarding the issue.
