BCB Dissolved: Tamim to lead ad-hoc committee
The current BCB board of directors has been dissolved. An 11-member ad-hoc committee has been formed. National Sports Council (NSC) Director (Sports) Mohammad Aminul Ehsan confirmed this information at a press conference last afternoon.
Former captain Tamim Iqbal has been appointed as the chairman of the BBC’s ad-hoc committee. The term of this 11-member committee is three months.
If the cricket board fails to function as an independent institution, the team will be banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the highest governing body of world cricket. However, the NSC has already informed the ICC in an e-mail about the dissolution of the current BCB board of directors. At the same time, the name of the ad-hoc committee has also been sent to the ICC, the highest governing body of world cricket, the NSC director said.
NSC’s proposed 11-member ad hoc committee: President- Tamim Iqbal.
Members – Barrister Rashna Imam, Director of Dhaka Bank Mirza Yasir Abbas, Syed Ibrahim Ahmed, Israfil Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, Minhajul Abedin Nannu, Athar Ali Khan, Tanzil Chowdhury, Salman Ispahani, Rafiqul Islam, Fahim Sinha.
Earlier, an investigation committee was formed to find the irregularities of the last BCB board of directors elections. The committee submitted its report.
BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul and one of the BCB directors Nazmul Abedeen Fahim have become the councillors of Dhaka district and Dhaka division respectively.
Which seemed to be an interference by the sports adviser. Faruk Ahmed’s councilorship was submitted after the stipulated time. This seemed to the committee to be an irregularity in the election.
There is no provision for an ad-hoc committee in the BCB constitution. However, the BCB is an affiliated organization of the National Sports Council like the other sports federations.
Therefore, according to Section 21 of the National Sports Council of 2018, any federation can form an ad-hoc committee at any time.
The Director of the National Sports Council (Sports) did not say anything clear about whether the people in charge of the ad-hoc committee will be able to run for re-election.
It is not clear whether anyone from the ad-hoc committee can be a candidate in the elections of the federations. Even the National Sports Council law does not say anything.
The Director of the National Sports Council (Sports) said while announcing the names of the 11 people of the ad-hoc committee, “This ad-hoc committee will hand over the responsibility to the elected committee within the next 90 days.’
The main responsibility of the ad-hoc committee is to organise fair elections. The Director (Sports) of the National Sports Council did not say anything clearly about whether the people in charge of the ad-hoc committee can stand for re-election. Although asked repeatedly about this, he said, “They will hand over the responsibility to the elected committee, such is the responsibility of the ad hoc committee.”
