Tamim said, “I will make a small request to elect qualified representatives in the cricket board, whether they are from any district or division. They must have basic cricket knowledge.”
He emphasized the importance of having people with a genuine vision for the sport: “They also should have dream about taking Bangladesh cricket to a new height. I request to elect them.”
Criticizing inactive members, Tamim added, “If anyone doesn't have any contribution in developing their own district or division cricket, I would say they don't need to come to the board.” He further stated, “We recognise cricket as Bangladesh's biggest sport. I'm saying this with respect to other sports.”

With the BCB elections drawing closer, there is growing speculation that the 36-year-old, whose playing career is in doubt following a heart attack in March during a DPL match, may contest.
Though he said a decision on returning to the field would come after three months, his involvement in a new sports association hints at a potential future in cricket administration.
Also present at the event were former footballer and BNP leader Major (retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, ex-football captain Aminul Islam, and former cricket skipper Khaled Mashud Pilot.
