BNP leader and newly elected BCCI councilor Ishraq Hossain has warned of strong resistance, including a possible siege of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), if the government interferes in the upcoming October 6 elections.

He alleged that powerful figures—including the BCB president, the Prime Minister’s sports adviser, and senior officials of the National Sports Council—are trying to influence councilor nominations at district and divisional levels. Ballots will be uploaded online on October 1, and votes must be submitted by October 6.
