On Tuesday (April 7), the National Sports Council (NSC) dissolved the board led by Aminul Islam Bulbul and formed an 11-member ad-hoc committee. The committee has been instructed to organise BCB elections within the next three months.
Soon after taking charge, Tamim and the other members of the committee held their first board meeting at the BCB headquarters in Mirpur.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Tamim said that restoring the reputation of Bangladesh cricket would be their top priority.
“I was given the responsibility today. Those who came before us always spoke about development first. We do not want to say that. Our first job will be to restore the reputation of Bangladesh cricket.”
According to Tamim, the image of the game has suffered over the last one to one-and-a-half years, and he believes everyone must work together to repair that damage.
“Over the last one to one-and-a-half years, cricket’s reputation has been damaged. We all have to work together to fix that. Cricket is a matter of pride for us. We have to bring that pride back.”
Tamim also announced who would speak on behalf of the board on official matters going forward.
“We have decided that if there is a need for the BCB to speak on any issue, Tanzil bhai (Tanzil Chowdhury) will do that.”
