Over the past week, club officials have raised concerns regarding certain proposals made by the constitution amendment committee, led by BCB director Nazmul Abedeen Fahim, which they believe could harm the country’s cricket.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) director Nazmul Abedeen Fahim said that the Women’s Bangladesh Premier League will help to improve women’s cricket in the country.
Club officials have vehemently criticised the new changes in TV and print media reports over the past few days.
The Dhaka-based clubs have given Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) an ultimatum to revoke the proposed changes to the BCB constitution. The proposed changes being considered by a five-member committee, led by BCB director Najmul Abedeen Fahim, were leaked in the media recently.
The BCB has the opportunity to make changes to the Champions Trophy squad till next month. It rarely makes it easy to rule out abnormality. So, is there another twist around the corner or have we seen the last of Shakib in national colours?
This will be the first time in 18 years that Bangladesh will play in an ICC event without both Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan
Tamim had a chance to rewrite the ending by taking part in the ICC Champions Trophy, starting next month, but eventually chose not to.
The selectors had approached Tamim during the ongoing Sylhet phase of the Bangladesh Premier League, presenting the 35-year-old with an opportunity to rejoin the squad. While the southpaw listened to their proposition and mulled over his prospects, he ultimately decided against making a comeback.
With the Champions Trophy squad submission deadline looming on January 12, the decision to reintroduce a player to a national team plagued by batting consistency raises eyebrows.

Ebadot Hossain has been a great example of how hard work can help a cricketer take the next step on the world stage. The 29-year-old has become a key member of the Tigers' pace-bowling unit and once again made his impact felt during Bangladesh's record Test win against Afghanistan on a sporting Mirpur pitch. The Sylhet native was also included in the ODI and T20I squad for the upcoming Afghanistan series and the pacer spoke about his bowling, future plans, work ethic and a few other topics during a candid conversation with The Daily Star's Mazhar Uddin.
