What impact will investigation lead to?
The Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB's) two-member committee entrusted to unearth the reasons behind the national team's dismal campaign in the T20 World Cup in Oman and UAE will finalise their report by the end of this month.
"We have already talked with a few players and officials. We are taking time because an international series is going on, but we will complete the report by the end of this month," BCB director Jalal Yunus, one of the members of the committee alongside Enayet Husain Siraj, said.
"Our main objective is to make a report that will help the board fix problems regarding our team. There were number of factors that played a role behind the World Cup failure and we want to identify those issues to create a healthy atmosphere in the dressing room," Yunus added.
When asked how they, given their roles as BCB directors, would handle any failures from the board's side, he responded: "We have to be fair to make a fruitful report."
The BCB has taken some initiatives in the aftermath of the national team's abysmal performance in the T20 World Cup, among which the appointment of former national captain and current board director Khaled Mahmud as team director for the upcoming Pakistan series was the most visible one.
But the way the team management changed things in the just-concluded three-match T20 series against Pakistan gave the same old impression that there is hardly any scope to settle problems with quick-fix solutions.
Now it will be interesting to see whether two-member committee's report can have any impact when there has been a call for an independent committee to unearth the real facts following one debacle after another.
