Controversies continue in Bangladesh cricket. Bangladesh Cricket Board elections were held in October last year, in which earlier there were allegations of irregularities. After these allegations, the Bangladesh government had formed an investigation committee. The investigation report conducted by the same committee has revealed that there was rigging in the BCB elections last year, voters were intimidated and there was partiality. The five-member committee led by former Justice AKM Asaduzzaman submitted its investigation report to the Sports Ministry on Sunday.
According to the revelations in the investigation report, the e-voting process held in October was planned in advance. It was told that the voters were gathered at one place a day before the elections i.e. on 5 October 2025. National Sports Council Director Mohammad Aminul Ahsan told a press conference on Tuesday that the election process was not fair, transparent and free. Voters were threatened before the elections.
The committee said that many senior BCB officials were not ready to cooperate in the investigation. Last week, former BCB president Aminul Islam Bulbul told in an interview that he had sent his written reply to the inquiry committee instead of giving an interview.
NSC Director Mohammad Aminul Ahsan said that the government has found enough reasons to dissolve the Bangladesh Cricket Board headed by Aminul Bulbul. After Bulbul was removed as the president, an 11-member committee has been formed, which will be led by former cricketer Tamim Iqbal. This committee will look after the functioning of BCB for the next 3 months. Iqbal is the interim president of BCB, who had accused Bulbul of misuse of power before the elections last year.
