Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) arrived at a decision regarding the much-talked-about constitution reform committee, suspending its activities following the 17th meeting of the BCB board of directors on Saturday.

A five-member committee, led by director Najmul Abedeen Fahim, was set to present proposed reforms to the board. However, before they could present their suggestions, Dhaka clubs decided to boycott the first division league, influencing the decision.

Following the meeting, BCB directors Iftekhar Ahmed Mithu and Mahbub Anam addressed the media in a press briefing, during which the standing committees of the board were also announced.

"They [reform committee] did not present anything to the board or the NSC [National Sports Council]. The board of directors felt that the process [of the committee] should be a bit more transparent because the constitution is something where there can't be any secrecy," Mahbub told reporters today.

"It's public information that will be public. We felt their activities need to be suspended and the discussions that are coming should be stopped. In the same way, the changes in the committees and their expansion are necessary because it's important for the stakeholders to be involved, which the board felt. In light of those, these decisions have been taken. We will announce the committee's scope of work before any changes and expansion decisions are executed," he added.

The BPL's payment issue was also a major topic at the meeting. News circulated that players from Durbar Rajshahi and Chittagong Kings were still facing payment-related complications. As a result, BCB has decided to meet with its governing council and franchise owners in the next 48 hours to resolve the players' payment issue.

"The things that have to be maintained under franchise contracts, BCB will do everything to ensure that the franchise owners abide by them. In the next 48 hours, those activities will continue," Mahbub informed further.

The board had also been functioning without standing committees. Twenty-one standing committee chairmen were announced after the board meeting. The BCB discussed the two remaining vacant committee positions and will decide how to fulfil those positions.
