Councillorship list in focus as BCB election approaches

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) held an emergency board of directors meeting on Saturday about the upcoming BCB election, scheduled to be held in the first week of October, with the main agenda being finalisng the councillorship list.

It is learnt that the BCB's chief executive officer, under the direction of the president, has already notified the concerned parties for the nomination of councillors, and they are expected to provide the names of councillors by September 17.

Out of the 25 BCB board directors, 10 will be elected from the Regional and District Cricket Association councillorship category, 12 from Dhaka Metropolis Club representatives category, and one from the Others category. The National Sports Council (NSC) will nominate the two remaining directors.

Although current board president Aminul Islam Bulbul and former skipper Tamim Iqbal have already announced their interest to run for the BCB top post, many current directors and interested candidates are waiting to see the final list of voters before taking the plunge.

"I'm yet to decide about contesting in the election. There are many equations to consider. I may decide after seeing the councillorship list on September 17," a board director, requesting anonymity, told The Daily Star on Saturday.
