Nazmul Hassan becomes Youth and Sports Minister

BSS, Dhaka :
Nazmul Hassan Papon has been made the Youth and Sports Minister as part of the new cabinet of the government formed on Thursday.
The Cabinet Division issued a gazette notification to this end.

Nazmul took oath on Thursday as a member of the newly formed cabinet.

Nazmul Hassan is a Bangladeshi politician and cricket administrator.

He is the President of the Bangladesh Cricket Board and a member of parliament elected from the Kishoreganj-6 constituency.

Nazmul is the son of former President Zillur Rahman and late Ivy Rahman, former president of Mohila Awami League.

“As I said earlier, I would not involve in BCB after this term, I stick to it as of now. Rather I will try my best to end this by this year,” Papon said on Thursday.

After being appointed as the minister, his relation with BCB came under scanner.

There was discussion that he couldn’t continue as BCB President if he is appointed as Minister even though the BCB and ICC constitution had no bar in this regard.

Papon, however, cleared the air by saying that, “The first thing is that it has nothing to do with the resignation from BCB.

Earlier, we had many ministers who served as the president of BCB, also there are many examples in abroad.

That is not the issue.”
