The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will not be able to hold the players' draft for the next edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) before October, newly appointed BPL Governing Council Chairman Mahbub Anam informed the media on Wednesday.
The decisions came after a marathon six-hour-long meeting by the BCB board of directors.
Syed Ashraful Haque wants to devote his twilight years to the game he loves the most and wants to complete his unfinished works in Bangladesh cricket. Recently, Ashraful talked to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan regarding all this and more.
The fate of the Colombo Test and Najmul Hossain Shanto's captaincy was decided yesterday and the outcome in both cases was ill-fated but not unexpected.
Shanto didn’t lash out. He didn’t name names. But his departure is a loud, unmissable protest.
Bangladesh youth and sports advisor Asif Mahmud said on Friday that they are working on the process of amending the constitution of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) but affirmed that for the time being there is no reason to delay the BCB elections scheduled for October.
Ultimately, while it is commendable to honour the legacy of the frontliners, the contributions of those who laid the foundational groundwork 25 years ago should ideally not have been overlooked.
A Test players’ honours board was also unveiled.
“There is no way that Bangladesh cricket, with the present system, can operate at the Test match level in less than 10 years. I give you that and I stand the challenge on that. To push forward will be suicidal as far as our cricket is concerned.”
