Faruque Ahmed Elected President Of Bangladesh Cricket Board As Nazmul Hassan's Era Ends: Reports
The National Sports Council: The change in government in Bangladesh seems to have brought in a change in guard at the helm of the country's cricket board with Faruque Ahmed, a former national cricketer and chief selector, elected as the President. It was claimed in various reports on Wednesday that Faruque Ahmed has replaced Nazmul Hassan as the president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Hasan was also the country's sports minister since January.
Hassan, who was close to the Awami League government of Sheikh Hasina and serving his fourth term as BCB chief, is reportedly hiding with his family in London since the unrest in the country started, triggered by the student protests against the recently dissolved government. It was informed in the BCB directors' meeting that he has resigned as President, though there is no independent confirmation of the news.
Reports claimed that Faruque was elected BCB president during a board meeting in Dhaka on Wednesday. Faruque is the first BCB president who has played any competitive cricket. He joined the BCB directors' meeting after the National Sports Council (NSC) nominated him and Nazmul Abedeen Fahim as their directors on the board.
