‘New committees after T20 World Cup’
While the newly elected board of directors will take charge of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for the next four years, led by Nazmul Hassan for the fourth consecutive term, the previous 21 working committees are expected to continue their operations until the next board meeting.
Six new faces were elected in the recent BCB elections on Wednesday while 19 directors, who were retained and led various committees, will continue their respective roles keeping the upcoming busy schedule for the Tigers in mind.
"Until the next board meeting, our president Nazmul Hassan has asked the respective committees of the previous term to continue their work. Keeping the busy schedule of the Bangladesh team in mind it is expected that we are going to form the new committees after the T20 World Cup," BCB director and chairman of the media committee of the previous term, Jalal Yunus, told The Daily Star yesterday.
According to Jalal, there could be changes in the new committees of the BCB.
Former Bangladesh captain and chairman of the High-Performance Unit of the previous term, Naimur Rahman, who won the election from Dhaka Division, informed that he is willing to work for the betterment of cricket in any committee for the new term.
"I have the experience of working from the cricket operations committee to game development and also in the HP unit. I think I have tried to give my best in any role given to me and I think I can say I was successful. I am looking forward to working whichever department I am given the charge of," Naimur told the media yesterday.
"We are doing well in the ODIs and T20Is and now we should do well in Tests too. Now is the time for Bangladesh cricket to take the next step. We need to do a lot more than our designated works and this time I will do that," he added.
On the other hand, there have been a lot of talk over the cricket operations committee led by another former captain, Akram Khan, in the previous term. It will be interesting to see whether the new board would see a new face to lead the most important committee.
There have been few interested candidates for the posts, however, none of them are willing to speak on record and informed that the president will ultimately decide everything.
Whatever responsibilities are given to me, I will try to work on that aspect. The president will decide who will get which role," said Akram.
