The year 2026 has been surrounded by controversies for Bangladesh. First being out of T20 World Cup 2026 and now a new controversy has arisen regarding the elections in Bangladesh Cricket Board. Bangladesh government and BCB are at loggerheads and BCB president Aminul Islam is at the center of this dispute.

In fact, in October last year, Aminul Islam was re-elected BCB president. Former cricketer Tamim Iqbal had also raised questions that there were irregularities in the elections. After the matter came to light, the Bangladesh government had started investigating the matter, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board had given a warning to the Bangladesh government through gestures. BCB said that if the government interferes too much then ICC can take action.

BCB making excuses?

Meanwhile, Syed Ashraful Haq, who has been the CEO of Asian Cricket Council, says that Bangladesh Cricket Board is trying to save itself by taking the name of ICC. The truth is that BCB comes under the National Sports Council (NSC). Ashraful Haq has said that if any irregularities are found in the elections or any irregularities are found in the way it works, then the NSC has the full right to dissolve the board.

He said that the International Cricket Council does not interfere in anyone’s internal affairs, it can issue maximum instructions. He also gave the example of Pakistan where the president was changed several times, but the ICC did not interfere. Therefore, if the working method of Bangladesh Cricket Board is correct then ICC will not interfere in this matter also.

Bangladesh Sports Minister Aminul Haq says that any conclusion will be reached only after seeing the investigation report and talking to the ICC. If BCB is found guilty then the government can take strict action, but the investigation report has not come out yet.
