The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has been dissolved following allegations of irregularities in its election. The National Sports Council (NSC) announced the decision at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, forming an 11-member ad hoc committee to oversee the board’s operations. Former national captain Tamim Iqbal has been appointed as the head of the committee, which has been tasked with organizing new elections within three months.

The previous BCB board, led by Aminul Islam Bulbul, was formed through a controversial election held on October 6. After reviewing the investigation report on the alleged irregularities, the NSC decided to dissolve the board under Section 28 of its 2018 law. The ad hoc committee includes members such as Fahim Sinha, Rafiqul Islam Babu, Salman Ispahani, Tanzil Chowdhury, and others.

Tamim Iqbal is expected to visit the BCB office this evening to assume his new responsibilities as the committee’s president.
